This week, I finally got tired of having the Magnaflow box sitting in my garage. So it was time...
It was a cool morning, only 46°
We hung the mufflers first. Added the cross over
This again put the X right under the trans cross member - no good
When I contacted Magnaflow the last time we confirmed we had the right parts, and they measured correctly. They said I could cut some off the ends of the X that went into the muflers. So we cut approx 2.5" here leaving enough straight pipe to go into the mufflers.
Then we had to cut approx 5" out of the straighter section behind the X
One side was expanded, and then put them back together.
Seen here, right above the jack post
From there, everything was measured and leveled. My passenger side downpipe was too high, so we had to make another one of those to bring it down such that the cross over was level.
Everything was welded except for 2 joins, the ones in front of the X. This is so when I have the trans 'resealed' one of these days I wont have to cut any pipes (As a side note there was a 64 Polara 500 Convertible on the lift next to me. Owned by the shop owner.)
It all went together well after that
I used the turn down tips cut at 45°. Just showing below the bumper
Now the best part... I can hear my radio! The Flowmasters that were on it.... gee wiz they were loud. My ears would ring after driving to a show.
This is the same kit I put on the previous GS and I still love it.
