Default B&B, X pipe, & chambered exhaust

I did a little custom work on a B&B system with resonator

I installed a SW X pipe and added 16 in. powerstick chambered
exhaust pipes. It all fit within the space allowed for the resonator.

The powersticks were welded to the X pipe, and the x pipe length
was reduced a little.

The best part of this mod is that I have a very low rumble sound
at idle and a very healthy tone at full throttle, with out any noticeable
resonance at low rpm.

The car feels like the power has improved, and the exhaust sound is perfect for me.

I will dyno the car with Mark Haibeck and see how the numbers look

I have included some pictures to view

The exhaust powersticks can be found at www.classicchambered.com

Yep, That was me, we live pretty close, I am in the Lakes of Boulder Ridge. We should get together some time with all the guys from the area.

When I first bought the car in 1998 we had a group that met at Hooters
in Schaumburg a few times. Now its Bloomington Gold with the Registry
members. I can meet any Saturday or Sunday.

Not yet, I will try to have it done end of March or early April

Road salt is the issue, I wait until the roads are clean.
