Default X-Pipe constuction starts tomorrow...

Tomorrow i will start the construction of my X pipe assembly.It will be a nice challenge to be able to fit it right behind the crossmember,but i will..By jeeves,i will.Yesterday i threw my old 2 chamber mufflers and replaced them with racing mufflers that doesent seem to damp the noise once you are over 3000 rpm,they really make the Bigblock sing.. :cheers: :cool:

I just stuck with straight duals and hooker max flow mufflers. Behind the zz4 it sounds awesome and mean.

I was under the car and doin`some messurements,and its going to be very tight.It might not be all :cool: ,but hopefully it will work.I will cut off the pipes right behind the cross member and clamp the prewelded X to the pipes,because theres just no way to weld it when its in place.. :smash: :smash: I know clamps may be concidered a bit "Bubba",but sometimes the "Bubba"solution really work :lol:
Theres also the emergency wires and seatbelt holding wires that may cause som trouble..
