Default my home built 3 inch exhaust

well i really got tired of running open downpipe, and smelling like raw *** gas when i got out of the car. plus it was mad loud, and i was always getting hassled by the local law.

so i grabbed some 3 inch mandrel bends from a buddy, got a stick of 3 inch from an exhaust shop, my chop saw and mig welder and went at it. not bad for my first complete exhaust, so i think.

i used a "Bullet" muffler from summit, the welds looked like ***, but for 27 bux i cant complain, i also used a 3 inch V band from full race to go from the downpipe to the exhaust, much easier to take off.

and i had to put a gangster dump on the back


V-BAND


MID-TO-REAR


OVER THE AXLE


other side


all in all i like it, i did have to put a couple tiny bends in it with a bender but nothing that would inhibit flow, it is much nicer to have the noise back at the rear of the car, instead of under my feet!

it is kinda loud still but i hadnt found a 3 inch resonator yet locally so i will probably have to order one from the internerD

o have a 6 or 8 inch flex in my downpipe, i utilized all the stock hangers with new rubber pieces as well to help give it some buffer room too.

thanks bro

yeah im gonna have to do someting to quiet it down just a tad.

yes it is an EG, i used just your basic 90 degree bends, i think 3 of them, 1 for right in front of the gas tank, then 1 to make it go towards the back again, then i used one and cut it with my chop saw, to make it go over the control arm, i tucked it kinda high so i could put a Dump on it, gotta keep it gangsta' with the dump!

thanks for all the input guys, this exhaust literall cost me about 50 bux to make, i just had fun doin it
