Bryan, you going to be fabbing up a rear diffuser with a chute like the G-Force Cuda? Never thought I'd like side exhaust like that on a Bird, but it looks good.

If you start it and are worried about noise you might want to try what this guy did but use your current side exit setup instead of turndowns.

Bryan, what is the likely hood of those tips getting crushed while driving onto a lift. Like to get an alignment done? I'm pretty sure on my car they would get squished. I was considering having them come out closer to the front wheel. Any thoughts on that?

Oh yea, my exhaust is dumped under the car so I found a fix for my tips. You can see the factory tips are polished and where they should be, but when you crank it up, you get a nice loud note.





This is a good choice if your other plans fall through and you want something to fill the empty spaces.

That is correct, I am starting to miss the car just a little, though I am not sure if the sides are still on the car or not.

Would you be willing to sell the boom tubes if / when you get them back?

I want to say about $130 per side. They are not the DR gas ones. The ones we needs were note available. The guy who did the work is a fabricator for Daryl Waltrip Toyota Team and got a set that was laying around. They were a used set from one of their race cars.
It is my belief and the belief of the owner of Dr.Gas that his would be a little quieter.

well at this point I am not sure what is still left on the car, Street Tuna has not contacted me in a while. I am still waiting to hear back from him. The fact that he is shipping kits means he should be done with my car.
