where do i begin. well sound clips are gonna be about 2 weeks delayed.
well the headers were pretty easy. the only ****** was having to jack the motor up to get the old equal length shorties out. but it was easy.
the x-pipe i got is Pypes. well my exhaust is about an 1"from the ground. well it appears the Pyes products don't fit flowmaster b/c of the length of the pipe coming out of the muffler towards the mid pipe is about 2.5" to long. so beware guys.
o.k. i also have a problem with my gas tank now.(totally my dumb-a$$ fault.) i pulled down on the tab of the fuel tank on the drivers side, so i could have more room to adjust the c/b to make it fit b/c i couldn't figure out why nothing was linning up. it worked,but when i went to put it back in its place,again prying on the stamping tab, it started leaking at the seam. thats why i called pypes. nothing was lining up.i had to force it to line up. and thats why its 1" off the ground. so i will prolly get a new tank from 5.0 resto only b/c any tank i get out of a j-yard is going to be old as hell to begin with. and for the price of a new one its worth it. so i can't run the car to long b/c the gas leak is right next to the pipe. and i don't want to chance it igniting.
so i can't get the exhaust fixed until i put another gas tank in. i will get the tank next week,then slowly drive down the the muffler shop (only 2 blocks away.thank god) and have them cut the 2.5" off the mufflers and flair them out and bolt it up again.
what a ****** this turned out to be. but no big deal. i'll getr done.
so if any of u are planning on buying a pyes x-pipe,do it. they are a great product. but if u have any flowmaster c/b get a diff make mid pipe b/c it wont fit w/o some customizing. thanks for reading. sorry it was so long.
