Default This was EXHAUSTING!

After months of indecision, I finally purchased the exhaust I'm going to put on this car.
I have a difficult time making up my mind but, went with Paragon's
2-1/2" aluminzed under car exhaust, with OFF-Road mufflers, and Jet-Hot's Sterling finish Hooker headers.

Too pretty a chassis to stick a body on it. Drive it like it is !

Is that an Edelbrock crate motor ? Have you heard that exhaust system ? I would like to wake mine up a little. It has headers, but I'm unsure of the mufflers.

Grey Ghost,
All the components are Edelbrock but it is not Edelbrock's crate motor.
No I have not heard the exhaust but I figured at only $320 for the entire Paragon system, I could afford to change the mufflers a couple of times if I didn't like them.

I really am taking my time...probably because I don't want to cover the chassis. I get alot of walk by's admiring it. (I live really close to the street).

I have done more since the photo, hard/braided fuel lines etc.

There must be some kind of filter on my PC. I still do not see the headers, off road mufflers or aluminzed pipes on the attached file. I promise not to ask about the belt drive.

Vetrod,
I ordered them today! Expect them in the first week of May.

I talked to March Systems and they said they didn't see a problem with the belt contact, and refered me to their drawings.
Many of their drawings of different configurations don't look alot better than mine.

March did ask if I had tried to move the Alt bracket closer to the block, but I have not done any thing with it yet. I not too concerned, because I'll make it right myself if I have too.
