(84) - do it yourself, exhaust system

After 27 years, my old stock exhaust died. So I decided to build my own (without any help from the muffler shop). I wanted to build a exhaust system without leaving my yard. I ordered two cherry bomb extremes for 60 dollars a peice.

My whole exhaust system is about 10 inches long. It sounds better than anything i've ever heard. (02 sensor still works)

6 inch racing mufflers = whoa

I have driven 368 miles since the new system was added. The system cost me...

-$120 dollars for two mufflers
-$15 dollars for acouple of good (leak free welds)

Who cares if I lost/gained horsepower or torqe. I drive my car everyday for 5 months out of the year, anyway

You took the time to make a video, but didn't start the car?

I bet its pretty loud. I'm not sure I'd want the exhaust dumping under the car................especially on a daily driver.

The exhaust looks as good as the video. Might want to mount a scuba tank in the back in case you are at a long stop light.
