Thanks Luigi !! It's just tack welded so far. Hope to finish this weekend.

You're gonna laugh, but those are hollowed out cats. I polished the stainless shield, to give it that exotic look. The reason I went with these is because of the sound. I wanted to have that old big block corvette sound. This comes extremely close. It's 2.5" mandrel bent to the differential, then 3" all the way back. I used the rectangular stainless tips, and reshaped the 3" pipe into it.

This is a mock up the of the rear.

That's a nice clean installation. I'd also like to hear it.

 

[Peer81]

Very nice Sam!
If you're able to record the sound please post it on this forum The Cat's look damn nice to
Groeten Peter.

 

[8388]

Thanks guys. Yeah, the cats actually look real good, especially with the vented stainless shield all polished up to a chrome finish.

Well, is was in my head first, but what you see in those pics took two days, about 4 hours each day. It will probably take another 4 hours to complete. I've designed it, to be taken apart in 4 parts if needed. That will come in handy when servicing the tranny, or anything else underneath the car.

Again, looks great :cool


But where are the cats


8388, if you need a host for the videos, let me know - or maybe your neighbor can host 'em on his server

Wow... that looks amazing. Did you make it yourself--like do you do this type of thing for a living? It looks incredibly professional!

If I didn't know better, I'd think I was looking at the bottom of a Ferrari.

...except the engine would be further back on the F-car, true

 

[Brangeta]

Oh? Do the 550/575/SuperAmerica Ferraris have their engine placed more towards the center?

....doesn't matter, it still looks good.

This is not the first exhaust system I've built I've actually designed and market systems, for a couple other general motors cars.

Yeah, but the Ferrari wouldn't be as fast
