Trannys in and the exhaust is going back together. I did the old exhaust, I think 6 years ago and at the time I had never done an exhaust before on a car. The old 3" center section was bent at a local muffler shop and as you can see from the pictures they crimped the heck out of it. My attempt at the split from 3 to 2" was at best poor. I have been thinking all this time that the old mufflers were 21/2" but turns out they are just 2" and not high performance at that. Might be a part of my problem with HP The new exhaust is 21/2" down tubes (already had them in place) a dual 21/2" in and single 31/2" out resonator. The center section is 31/2", which is just tacked together in most places, and a T section joining the 2 Flowmaster mufflers together. The mufflers are 31/2" inlet and 21/2" out lets to the chrome tip which will remain. The T section has a wedge welded in it to split the flow of exhaust to the mufflers. All the bends and joints will be tig welded when I have everything fitted up. There will be a joint just before the T but I havent put it in yet. It should not have any problems flowing exhaust when done and the headers will be replaced once the new engine is in place down the road. Some might not like the exhaust or how I did it but I think it will work for me. My only real concern is that I dont have a miserable drone when done, In which case I might just shoot myself
