I love the look of TTII's and side pipes on a C3, especially a chrome bumper one.

That's an interesting idea. Haven't seen that before.

Try advancing the timing a little. Might save you a few bucks on shoes

Love the look of Hookers on a C3. I have also made my own version of the mufflers in Stainless Steel.

BTW you might think about adding heat shields to your pipes I am sure your girl friend has really nice legs and wants to keep them that way.

How about some more details on the process of creating your mufflers? I am really interested given the cost of buying those spiral baffle inserts. and I DIG the sound of your pipes!!!!!!

I welded some half pieces of scrap tubing on the flighting in several places to give something to thread bolts through and to keep the flighting from rattling around. Bolted her in and works like a charm. Sorry, I didnt take any pics during that process.
I'm sure it doesn't flow like JCL's since they did research to determine what pitch the flighting should have for optimal performance... but I'm no racer... My solution is cheap and easy and satisfies my needs
