Re: exhaust pipe

2002-06-20 by dbarton62

Hi all
   The approach I took to the limited ground clearance probably isn't
for everyone but it worked for me........I ran pipes straight back 
as close to the trans tunnel tubes as I could terminating them just 
where the rounded part of the trunk pan ends, from that point I went
with SUPERTRAPP mufflers .....they are approx 18" long and can be had
in 3",3.5" and 4" dia.This style of muffler may suit some of you guys'
who race as the diffusers(discs) in the end can be added or removed
to tune sound and performance. They are available in stainless as well
as painted black with stainless internals. The sound might be a bit 
RASPY for some but it is infitely tunable.
             Cheers Dave #5577
