sweet, did you get the flanges and hangers welded on option or mufflers or resonator?

I just got the tubing, the exhaust shops around here don't like putting on others materials so I'll get the Catalytic converter & some ( if any) mufflers from them.

I'm interested as well. Just bolts right up to the stock downpipe?

It should, but I got a custom down pipe from Jerek that I'll install at the same time.

looking at the pics i find myself wondering if i could just go clamp together route if i were to get this, but then again state of missouri says welds are mandatory

1990 TSTE - I got the piping in yesterday, making appointment at the exhaust shop within the next few weeks.

3" is soooo much bigger than stock!

Good find.  Did you go with the aluminized or SS?  The price doesn't seem bad.  Several years ago Napa wanted $135 for just the stock intermediate pipe.  I'm not sure what the price is now.

Aluminum

Got the exhaust installed today, not happy with how it hangs down.  Flows much better though.

I used a old set of 1997 exhaust tips from another car of mine, I think the round works well.

Bye bye old exhaust.  The second pic is the water & crap from inside of old exhaust.  Will try to install the down pipe next weekend.

looks great  :thumb: , looking forward to a sound clip and performance gains. what are the mufflers offset inlet center outlet or center inlet/outlet?
Title: Re: New exhaust possibility??
Post by: GPChief on June 03, 2013, 08:12:59 PM
Center / center dynomax mufflers.  If I had to do it again id just have one fabricated.  Seems to spool a lot quicker, I'm sure the down pipe from Jerek is going to really wake it up.

Looks good. Those 97 tips look similar to what 91-93 dual outlet exhaust GP's had from the factory, just much thicker walls on them.
