Hijack alert!

Texas OU weekend would be a great time to show off the new ride. Just don't go to any bars (in an orange 'vette) with a bunch of pi$$ed off Sooners out front.

As easy as it is to steal one of these things I thinK I would take an employee with me for security-what is peace of mind worth and I bet I can write it off as a business expense.

The older versions reduced to 2-1/2" at the entry & exit of the 3" inner core. They don't downsize any more. I'll put these up against anything in the flow department. Soundwise, these babies TUNE!

Running straight pipes? Chrysler tried this on a Viper a few years back & the car ran hot, & would not make correct power. They cut into the system & installed Super Turbos, & the car ran normal. It proves that some sort of expansion chamber in the exhaust does something positive for the pulses.

Just make some....

Open Sidepipes were Cop Callers with my mild 502 crate motor.

Built 3.5 inch inserts an they were loud and raspy...

Built 4 inch ID 5inch OD glasspacks and got the sound and flow that I wanted...

Can you say attenuation?

Check My corvette photos and my posts... Completed drawings and specs to construct... About 2 hours to fab and install...

Other than the Tabs that I CNC'd the rest was very simple OCC cut, weld, grind it 'till it fits, and chrome it...
