A couple little exhaust clips of the German rice killer!

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I got bored tonight and it was pretty dry/clear out so i took the Merkur out and goofed off making exhaust clips. The one is my typical car wash booth clip for acoustics and then i swung by an empty parking lot and shot one...my camera didn't care for the dark and didn't focus but you get the idea. Sounds pretty cool for a 2 inch straight pipe with a no-name resonator out the back

It *might* see the drag strip once or twice but they're more built for auto cross and road racing, so most of the mods are gonna be stuff like coil overs and bushings and toys for the suspension to make it corner. It'll already do most on/off ramps at 50mph without squeeling the tires and that's with stock 20 year old suspension parts. If i had to guess i'd say it's around 14.90s/14.80s right now, which i guess isn't too bad for what it is. Next thing it's getting is a 3 inch down pipe and exhaust and then an intercooler.
