I recently stepped up from some BBK 1 5/8" headers to some Kooks 1 3/4" with 3" collectors and their 3" x pipe.
So I wanted a full stainless cat back to match the front half. I put the anti roll bar in and new I was gonna have to do something about the exhaust because I didn't want to run dumps. This was my solution. I ordered a bunch of various mandrel bent 304 ss, mufflers, tips and went to town.
This was a fun little project. The only dislike I have about it is using the strap clamps. I wanted them for two reasons, ease of install/removal and adjustment in case I didn't get a bend just right. I may go back later and put some v band clamps on the tailpipe sections. Right now I can get the over the axle section in without even taking the weight off the rear.
I went from flowmasters to these magnaflows and I'm now a magnaflow fan. I didn't know what I was gonna think about them since I've had flowmasters for so long but I absolutely love them. Much quiter when just cruising and really nice sound when wide open.
A coworker and I took turns welding. The better welds are his. I still need a lot of practice.
Headers
X Pipe
X Pipe to mufflers
Muffler exit to around the ARB linkage
Snaking between the UCA and the ARB linkage. It looks real tight. But I've driven the car a few hundred miles now without any interference.
