Finally ready for the road again almost
From my prior posts you know that I put poly bushings in my rear susp. I also put in new ujoints and had rear wheel bearings checked and greased. I also had the radiator out and cleaned and put on Dynomax Ceramic Headers.
After I had new exhaust installed 2 1/2 in aluminized pipe, 2 chamber flowmasters and chrome tips.
It sounds good at idle. It is slightly airy with the low tone. Apparently flowing with little restriction.
After thsat it went in for control arm bushings and 4 wheel alignment. They put on both upper and lower control arm bushings that I provided, poly. Then the alignment.
The rear wheel toein was on the money with the ther specs out by 2 deg pos and 1 1/2 deg neg. They adjusted to spec. After doing the front they gave me a discount for not having to do the rear toe-in.:D
It is all ready and handles better but the inspection ran out. Will get the papers ready and will have it done this Friday when I am off.
In the mean time I almost can't wait to drive it again. :D

You'll find the sound of those pipes addictive - especially at WOT :D
Have you still got all the emmision control stuff?
In the mean time I almost can't wait to drive it again.
Know the feeling!
