Default Boom tube pictures

the pictures dont do this thing ANY justice. the lighting in my garage was crappy when I took these. If it looks like you see rust on it it...well, you do. thanks to the wonderfull shipping techniques used (no box, just a shipping label and a bit of duct tape) and a neighbor that wasnt paying attention it got to sit on my door step for 2 days and developed a little surface rust. No big deal, a little elbow greese and some cereamic high temp paint and it will look great.

yes it is a side exit set up. I was told that it was a passenger side exit, but from the looks of it you can do either side.

Not yet, but when I was working on it the other night I was lifting it just trying to get a feel for the weight and a guess your be around 40lbs. I'll hop on the scale tonight with it though and let you know.

I am sure it is going to be loud but thats not really what I am after. It is the massive scavanging effect that the combo has. NASCAR guys wouldnt run it if it didnt make power!

Looks cool, post up some pics when it's installed. I wonder how it would look since the rocker panels are round and not flat. I'd think without a side skirt that setup would stick out like a sore thumb on the side of the car .....

C5R Camaro has something similar and it looks great

Off topic but who makes that hood on the C5R Camaro? BTW that boom tube is going to rock!! I have a customer that is doing a dual side exit with 3" oval tubing...should be pretty sweet.

I am dying to try a smaller version that exits both sides of the car. I don't see myself using an X-pipe though. I just do not want to have to remove the x-pipe to get to the trans or torque arm mount. Might try some FLowmaster Delta Force 6.25" long mufflers under the seats; and then some oval tube into the boom tubes out each side........if I can find a boom tube that is that short.........Just something to think about.
