I wanted a bit more hotrod rake as was near level. So machined up some 1/2" spacers from some high density plastic that I had used as a cat perch. Placed them above the top coil isolator. Another thing I wanted to address was the tone and volume of the SRT Corser exhaust. It came with these 4" outer diameter resonators under the floor. As even the exhaust pipe was already hanging just below the frame rail, I didn't want to loose even more ground clearance when fitting bigger ones. Fortunately I had kept some 'dog leg' kick ups that were originally just in front of the rear most resonators. By using these in front of the 6" outer diameter Magnaflow straight through mufflers, I could have the bigger mufflers level with the bottom of the pipes. I cut the resonators off leaving the original factory weld on the cross over pipe. I then use that weld to melt into the new kick ups with the tig. Just a tack in this picture. This shows how the new bigger mufflers don't hang below the bottom of the pipes at all, so actually have more ground clearance that the original setup. I fitted the old V bands on the other end also by re melting the factory mig welds with the tig. Still going to be a lot of work to fit it back in as now the rear outlets are higher than before and the whole thing is longer by the length of the kick ups. I ended up pulling out the whole system and redoing it so it sat just above the frame rails. Also the whole tail pipe had to be reworked to meet the higher outlets. So it is all back in place with fingers crossed that it is quiet enough to pass the EPA 96 db. limit while giving a deeper throaty tone.

Man, does she look good taking off down the road.
Well done. Congrats. What is meant by clock broken? Time of day clock or something else? The clock needs to be working to pass safety inspection? |
