DT250a Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I have a 1987 GL Wagon 1.8L OHV. Is there a complete exhaust system I can purchase? Either cat back, or header and all. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferp420 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I Dont think there is a pre made kit but there easy to fabricate lots of threads about it on the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 For EA82s- OEM Dealer exhaust - costs a lot, lasts 8+ years in CT [snow / salt] IF you don't let a catalytic die. Aftermarket from pretty much any parts store - much cheaper, wont last anywhere near as long. What I ended up doing: http://www.dynahoedave.co.nf/exhaust.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Yes, one of the 2 I built is now on its second car. It is also very nice if I have to do anything that can be made easier by removing the exhaust, since o used all stainless hardware, it just un bolts. It is also lighter than a stock system by a lot, so easier to handle. It passed CT emmisions testing, and if the catalytic dies, it's an $80 part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Not much difference sound wise. Not leaking like the rusted old ones, so quieter. The ID is a size bigger than the stock pipe. So far, the old mufflers are still holding, but I'll have to decide something on them sooner or later. Don't want noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferp420 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I went with the 1"7/8 stock size is 1"3/4 2" would be ok too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Now that you mention it, IIRC, the pipe after the Y I went 2" - because I could buy decent pre made flanges that size. Couldn't find smaller ones, only bigger. And I didn't want to fabricate more than the 4 I did for the heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead Saloon Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I drew up what I wanted on a piece of paper and saw a good exhaust dude. Found a shop close by who did custom work on cars and harleys. I got unequal length headers for that suby throb in 1-3/4". From there into a side by side motorcycle type 2" collector-> to 2" hiflow cat -> 2" pipe -> 2" resonator-> 2" turbo pattern muffler. Sounds great, makes more power over 3500rpm. My exhaust fab skills are nowhere near as good as the guys who do it for a living. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
