universal choke cable from any parts store should work

instead of welding it why not clamp it

About 4 ft off your downpipe, add this:

Add the throttle body to one end and voila.

I had one of these cutouts laying around. I just never got around to adding a flapper and integrateing it into the downpipe. ----, my downpipe was only 2 feet long because i was such a lazy ----------er...... Shop wasn't even 5 minutes down the road.

yea imean making that little piece is no problem.. its the whole getting the throttle body welded/bolted/ clamped to the exhaust is what im trying to figure out. the choke cable is a great idea cause you can buy a locking one, so that wont be a problem...


thanks,

matt

NAPA has the stainless exhaust clamps that are like 8" long and strap around the pipe, use pipe and a clamp the same OD as the TB.

i talked to slos13, who did the same on his miata. ill use a stock d series throttle body, cause they fit real tight in a 2.5in echaust, and i bought the choke cable which should work pretty good, lets see!
