Default Birth of my 3" exhuast!

While my car is in the air waiting for the parts for a new HG I fiqured I pop up some pic of what I did Saturdays with a welder, bandsaw and 130.00 CAN of materials (3"Flex Pipe and 10 Ft for Pipe)

First the hacked up 3" to 2.25 to 2.5 to 2.25 that will be replaced

First cut a slash peice of 3" pipe. I used mostly 7.5deg cuts so 6 cuts makes 90deg. It gives a nice smooth flow without taking to long to make a bend.

First to bends created, To the Gas tank and then around it

My Flex pipe and ball flange

Hanging a little low because the DP is disconnect because of the HG job I'm doing

Fits Tight!

The only part not 3" is the muffler that will be replaced once my funds come back up!

Good Clearance around the tank

Finally th money pic!! See I'm represently Canada!! oh ya EH!
I've got good clearance over the LCA, just need to put my Sway bar back on.


Over all it is much quiter then my 2.25 with Ricer Cannon Style muffler, I love the sound. I actually datalog boost coming in about 400rpm earlier so I'm REALLY HAPPY with it!! And who says muffler shops are required!!

Weld were working good till I ran out of wire 15min after the store closed and had to borrow some .035. My little 110v welder I was using didn't like melting this thickness of wire so the welds after the muffler look like ----, but I'm replacing that. I want to go to a 3" magnaflow soon.

3" DP w/side exit for track to a 3" Carsound Cat to a 3" Ball Flange to a 3" Flex to 3" Pipe to a No Name 2.5 " Muffler.

Also it turns out that my brand new 3" Cat(30.00 bones off ebaY) from running rich for too long, No biggy, at least it still loks like I have a Cat on her. I'm going to wled a 3" pipe through it next time my DP is off so that all the exhaust doesn't get too turbulent in there.
