Exhaust is finally done. From the factory exhaust logs to the Pypes 2.5" mandrel head pipes into 2.5" kink-bent lazy-'S' pipes to get close to the DS tunnel, into the 2.5 inlet/outlet Magnaflows, then into the old 2.5 mandrel bent Torq-Tech A-body tailpipes. I didn't put an 'X' or an 'H' pipe this time to keep with a more factory look. It should flow pretty well despite the kink-bent pipes.
The only complaint we had about the Magnaflows is that the inlet/outlet pipes are actually a little larger than the 2.5" I.D. listed, so wouldn't crush over the 2.5 O.D. exhaust pipes...so we had to cut 1/8" wide slots 180 degrees apart at 3 & 9 o'clock positions so that they would compress/crush around the pipes with the muffler clamps. The inlet/outlet pipes in the muffler are stainless steel and very hard.
Fuel connections and radiator next on the to-do list for next week.
