I didn't connect my exhaust sides at all. I think that whole x and H pipe is bullshit. Put a big enough exhaust on and you don't need it to scavenge.

thats pretty much what i was thinking...and 3.5" on each side should be more than enough even on the 300 shot

It will be, trust me I am 100% sure it will be.


I talked to my fab guy today, I'm trying ot get the pictures from him of the system.

He said that if someone wanted a setup like it, if you're running a kooks header on an F body we could easily put my car up in the air and use it like a template to make another system just like it if someone wanted it.

We can also have it jet hot coated as well.

No, he's in north haven CT.

I'm still trying to get ahold of him, I talked to him today and he said he should have the pictures, but I haven't gotten them yet.

As soon as I do I will post them up. He's not a sponsor on here, so after you have seen the pictures, if it's something you're intrested in shoot me a PM.

Ground clearance isn't too bad at all I don't think.

I have a 28 inch tire on teh back of the car, and the rear spring isloaters are out, so it's not really lowered much, and I'd say there's a good 4 inches if not more worth of clearnace.

The way the system is attached is with a solid strap that attaches where the gload brace/driveshaft loop attaches, so it doesn't rattle or hang low at all.

We didn't use any band clamps, the pipes slide right over the header collectors and we used a tab on teh exhaust, and one on the header collector that gets welded on and then one bolt goes thru both tabs to hold it in place. This way, you take that small bolt out, and the one bolt on teh strap that's welded to the muffler case out, and you can slide 1/2 the system right off in about 10 min. Solid mounting it this way also helsp with the ground clearnance.

I have a motor plate on my car so the motor doesn't move at all, as long as you have poly motor mounts, or solid motor mounts you can mount the exhaust this way and you don't get any rattles or any of that.

I run 1 7/8's AR LT's and catted Y. I have the LM but swapped the resonator for a Borla muffler. The LM1 was way too loud!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_8fU...eature=related .. I don't have any idle clips but around town she's not too bad at all .. keeping the rpm's below 3K is the key . The Borla cleaned up the rasp too.
