I actually now have two '88 GTs. The threads from today are for the car I just bought last night.
I thought about starting a progress thread for the new car but thought it would be easier to have separate threads rather than one thread with multiple issues and people answering one question and the next post being about a different issue. I appreciate everyone's posts and inputs. Should I start a progress thread for the new car? I will more than likely have quite a few more issues on the newest car that I will have questions on as I try to work through them.
I know! Why couldn't this second car be any other year besides an '88? lolThat makes it even worse!
I will definitely start a progress thread for the next post / issue I have with this car. I will do as you suggested and make one of my first post be links to the other two threads I already have going on it.At [least] get threads going for each of your cars. You've been here long enough that you should be able to edit your posts and threads. If you do [not] have this ability, ping me and I'll make it so.
With progress threads, you start developing a running history of what's been done and what's been tried. It helps a [lot] when trouble-shooters get into your threads.
It's also a nice chronology of how the car is coming along.
I'm sure you've seen some of the others. We have quite a few folks here that are really good at documenting what they did.
It's not to say you can't create threads about specific items etc.., but where it relates/intersects with [your] project(s), it becomes a reference link (if you follow me).
One of your first posts in a new [Progress Thread] might be links to your other threads so that folks know what you've done so , far. And of course.... You can't start a [Progress Thread] without pictures of "Where you are at now" so that newbies can follow along to see what you did.
I think you'll like it. It works a [lot] better than the bookface method of just spitting out 30 second threads. The other thing that happens is that folks get into your thread and they're associated with [you]. People remember where they left off when they come back versus walking into one of [thousands] of others.
While I do agree with you my system has been off and on about 5 times, goes back together n the exact same way, no rattles easey peasey.I just don't see the point in buying tailpipes only if there is a catback available with your preferred muffler.
Once you have to goto an exhaust shop all the savings disappear.
If you have a sawzall with a metal blade and you purchase the good clamps a complete catback is not a hard job at home. Done right you can remove and move it at will if it hits somethings.
The second the exhaust shop welds it up, it's over...
My car already has 2 chamber flowmasters and flow tubes on it; all I need is the tailpipes. A new catback would be about $600, the tailpipes were about $100. I'm going to try and put them on myself with band clamps. If I'm not able to do it I will take it to an exhaust shop. I would think an exhaust shop would charge around $100- $150 to fit the tailpipes. I'll be into it for about $200 - $250 versus $600 for a catback system.I just don't see the point in buying tailpipes only if there is a catback available with your preferred muffler.
