Default Re: Side pipes ROCK! Thanks, SIGNGUY (stingraymaniac)

I hated to cut my rockers and then find out that the side pipes did not work out. At this point its safe to say a regular exhaust system is never going back on my car! I love the side pipes, great sound and now my car seems complete to look at. Now its time to work on the 850dp carb again, still running rich. When I lean it out more in the idle circuts then it starts to hesitate? I guess that black smoke and my car are just going to have to be ok.

yes, thats the next job! I am going to check with a friend of mine at our local body shop this week. It really looks ugly from the back now, you can see the rear spring and shocks. Oh well still worth it to have the cool side pipes!
