Fast or slow? I'm unbolting the stupid y-pipe as I type. Always wondered why I ran that thing at the track.

This is how it's done, son. Don't have the straight through mufflers on yet, but you get the idea.

A 12 Bolt is a Chevy rearend (actually made by Strange). No Ford here. The Y-pipe is to get the car under 115 db which is the sound maximum for Infineon's Wednesday night races. I found the y-pipe increases the torque off the line and quiet's the exhaust just enough that I don't have to run mufflers. Still want to race?

come on man!

why would I wanna race? Your car has a bent frame
(from doing those wheelie's) and now you 84 is worthless

im surprised you even pass tech inspection with that bent frame

it probally doesn't even have a title.

Hey look at me, " i have a Ford 9 inch with no interior"

you can store your y-pipe in the back (where the carpet) used to be.

if i pull out my interior--my car will do a wheelie 2.

anybody can do a wheelie with a ford 9 inch and the interior gutted.

can you say " bent, worthless, totaled racecar--with a motor that needs to be freshed up, alittle"

just like a red neck " wanna race"

its going to take a whole lot more than THAT car to impress me

junk

wanna race

i love those big 15 inch tires with the ford bolt pattern
