Time to get started.

Mike any reason you are going down to a 2" pipe after the muffler? I would reccomend sticking with the 2 1/4 throughout the whole system.Especially since the system will be compression bent.If you really want the most out of your exhaust I would reccomend 2.5 inch pipe,if its compression bent. 2 1/4 is good for stock or super six,but for a 4 bbl. I would go with 2.5". Better performance and economy. The loop that goes over the axel gets severely choked with a compression bend so that 2 in. pipe after the muffler will only be about 1.5",not good.

I will be running a stock Low deck 170/ and I need just a bit of back pressure and the rear muffler exit dose sound right. Thank you :cheers:I will continue through the muffler with 2 1/4'' :-D Thank you, The head and cam work will come later after the the factory color goes back on the car.
as you can see. And go with gold all over.

I am wanting to enjoy the road with it and show it for a while pettybludart.
The engine bay will be repainted and the body to it correct color this year and keep the smooth ,light and quite rear end in this year.
I would say the rally,s will go on the same time I paint the car for show.
The rear end will stay with me if I every take the V8 direction like you did.
But for now I am going to get some use of these 13'' tire's before I take them off.

He said it was a turbo true flow or a flow master knock off of some kind.
As long as it fits on the correct position and it is 2 1/4 in and out.
The exhaust system I have know is new from about 20'' from the down pipe.
the down pipe is 1 3/4 and the tail pipe is too. :thumbdow:

If all goes well I might start cleaning up the fire wall this week.
The next time you get a chance look at your barracuda a see the big round hole in front of your battery, That is where I will put a air collector at for a positive pressure to my filter box.

memike · Apr 2, 2009

Time to put new motor mounts in, Waggin is buiding me a dual system so the 2 1/4 exhoust is not going on. So I will start the clean up under the hood.

Great place for the air collector my friend!! Its for sure going to get more than enough fresh air to the carb. I wish you the best of luck swapping out the mounts. Mine were a real pain. Ended up having to cut one of them off. Sure hope it goes a lot easier for you!

Thank you thanson_mopar, Waggin sure fixed me up :cheers:
I have been driving Victoria more then working on her and making some investments to take care of her.
10.000 miles already

memike · Apr 19, 2009

The sun popped out so I opened the hood of my old truck and robed a cable attachment for a cable bull throttle, I fought off many wasp and got it off.
Looks like it will work perfect.

memike · Apr 19, 2009

One step closer, I think the truck pedal will work , But a longer cable will have to be located I think.

looking good memike!

The 4BBL and Dual Exhaust should really wake up the ol'gal. Cam + Headwork does indeed sound good.

Thank you FAT-245, A little at a time and a driver.
I showed the exhaust manifolds and car to my muffler shop I will use and he said no problem at all to twin pipe it in :cheers:

memike · Apr 20, 2009

Since it was so nice out I took the time to install air shock's and it really feels good to be setting in my seat looking over my hood =P~ I emptied my trunk and listened to some CCR :love7:
Hear are some pictures with a full 90lb air in the shocks, I will let her sit and check it tomorrow She sure looks and feels MUCH better.
