Exhaust question


Recommended Posts

Is the exhaust on these really all bolt-on? No welding? I was looking it over and everything seems to be bolted. So my question is, should I put on a new exhaust myself or just have a shop do it? I've never done exhaust work before but my other cars involved welding. I plan on replacing everything but the cat I'll reuse that, or eliminate it ;) just wondering what experiences you folks have had.

 

Oh, and if you want to know why I'm replacing, I have a huge hole in the pipe right before the muffler and the whole sytem from cat back is rusting to pieces.

keep the stock y pipe intackct if its not rusted through

 

i have a cherry bomb on mine, i am using the stock y pipe and have a cherry bomb mated up to the flange and custom length after that

 

the stock y is perfect for the engines performance characteristics, but if you have a new y pipe made keep it close to the original's dimensions. use 1 3/4 oe 1 7/8" pipe till it joins into one, and use 2 or 2 1/4 after that

 

make the muffler in the middle after the y pipe, and rn open pipe thereafter
