Im not big on slip fit joints and MIG welds but i will say it looks nice other than that. Better ground clearance than i expected too.

looks good ... do you have to unbolt the tailpipes to jack your car up and let the axle drop down? Looks good, by the look of the bends, its less restrictive than the over the axle just because of the angles. I bet you don't lose too much hp from that setup over the dumps.

FstBlkz28- No, the car was on a lift in the first 4 pics. It clears the axle just fine, something I am estatic about. The HP loss was negligable if any. There's really only two extra mandrel bends on the end so it really doesn't affect the flow much.


Thanks for all the compliments guys. If any of you KY/OH/IN people are interested in having this guy make you a set of duals you can call Force Fed High Performance and they can hook you up.

Looks awesome, I'm in the middle of running mine under the axle. Hope it turns out as good as yours.

You'll have to call Force Fed High Performance and ask Brad. They took care of all of that for me.

Can you get a picture with a Coke can for reference on the lowest part of your system? A Coke can is ~5 inches tall. It would really help us out.

Looks nice, I would think they would hit the axle if the suspension drops. Just don't do the Dukes of Hazzard thing and you'll be fine!

With the new setup I went 12.47 @ 116mph with a 2.0 60' on street tires. The system performs well and I got a lot of compliments on how it sounds. I'll update with the requested pics as soon as I get a chance.

I wonder if you pulled another 1.7 60ft if you would beat 12.34 nice numbers tho

For those of you who wanted a video of this exhaust, I got a nice one Friday night while I was racing.

This is the best quality video as far as sound goes, it was the first run of the night.
http://videos.kentuckymustangs.com/somerset/Dave127.wmv

This was my 12.4 run. I was running next to an open-headers LS1 so it's kind of hard to distinguish between the two cars.

Enjoy!


00Z28 Camaro- It's not really a fair comparison, the 12.34 was on drag slicks and the car was bolt-ons only. My car has an F15 cam and ported stock heads now so beating that 12.34 is no problem now. Heck, I almost did it on street tires Friday night lol.
