Build Thread Want To Blow 5 Years And $50k On A Foxbody? Step By Step Instructions Inside!

[RacEoHolic330]

I was gonna v-band my header flanges because my BBK headers weren't a true 3" coming out of the collector through the ball flange. So I was gonna cut that 2-bolt ball flange off so I could have a full 3" out of the collector. I still might do that.

That's what I wound up doing on the end of my new Bassani catback.

I do.

I do.

No tips? Are you reusing them for your new setup? PM me the steal of the day price and your zip code please. Any mods you did to it that would make it difficult for it to bolt into my car?

I am reusing the tips. The back end of the tailpipes were modified so the angle of the pipes is more in line with the original SRA pipes. You can see the weld lines near the spot that the tips would bolt to.

The original angle of the IRS tailpipes was parallel with the ground. I redid it so the pipes angle upwards just a little more. The catback should fit a fox better than one that isn't modified. You'll just need to make hangers for whatever tips you choose.

I do.

You have nothing better to do with your time.....how long did the shininess take?

The better part of a Saturday evening. The car was done and I was itching to work on something. The body was already spotless, so the tailpipes were all I had.

What was you process to polish stainless?

I have some 3" 304 stainless tips that are raw that need some polishing. Not sure I want them polished or brushed?

Sandpaper, and lots of it. 120, 220, 400, 600, 800, 1000. Followed by two stages of machine metal polish. The 120 and 220 was done using an orbital sander. The rest was done by hand.

I definitely prefer shiny exhaust tips.
