Maybe Brian will buy it off you since he seems to be on a modding binge.

After the last two cruises I've been thinking that my 'Stang is too quiet.

Problem is when I had the X-Pipe fixed I think the guy welded it in place on the bottom side leaving the top clamps in place ?? I think, I'd have to get new pipes back to the Mufflers... god I hope not.

TacoBill

Nice avatar, Tom!

Brian, Just one peak at your underside and I'll be able to tell you if you can do the H swap.

89Trooper

Thanks... thought it was time for an action shot.

That's the ever so popular Florida Interstate 4. Dave was driving as we headed west to Tampa for the MOSI show at about 90mph.

TacoBill

I need to take some freeway action shots/vids too. Problem is, I need a chase vehicle armed with a camera.

Tom, whatever happened to more pics of your car besides the one in your driveway?

89Trooper

Well, there's one right there!

I know, I want to do that still.

Go with charcoal..Mine was 300.00. I didn't want a 4th brake lite so this one was for me.Also it is slanted back a little.Not straight up and down like Brads. The grain matches the interior plastic perfectly

89Trooper

Charcoal it is... I called Steve to see if I could still get that $300 deal. Hopefully he gives it to me. If so, I'll order it Monday and have it in time for FFW. With that kind of deal, I don't have to wait to see yours!

Boltzman

Your gonna make it hard for me to win again Tom

TacoBill

I think this is your situation...

It would be no problem switching over to an O/R pipe if you want. Your FRPP X is just a forward of the mid-pipe clamps.

This pic shows the X kit.



.. And this one shows the X in place. Note the 2 supplied clamp locations.
The X actually gets installed between the mid-pipe clamps and the converters, which all gets replaced when you install the O/R Pipe.




So as you see, it doesn't matter if the supplied clamps are removed and welded instead.

The forward section of the pipes still get attached to the exhaust manifold by the flange backing plate and nuts.

So, when are you going to buy Tom's O/R-H?

TacoBill

What was the cost of the CDC for comparison?

89Trooper

And these aren't Roush biased car shows, either.

Aeroform: $300.00 shipped.
CDC: $429.00 + $36.00 shipping.

If you do want it Brian, I was going to sell it for $100 to somebody that would pick it up. Even if you paid $30 for shipping it would still be $50 cheaper than from Brenspeed (with no waiting period). I would have to take it to The UPS Store to have them weigh and measure it because I think it's too big for USPS shipping. Let me know - basically, the pipe-bending oil has been burned off of it as far as "wear" goes.

BTW - I think you need a new avatar - I bet most people think your car is GO!

Thanks for the offer. I'll tell ya, I still drool when Bill starts his car. It's got that bite that I'm longing for. I was hoping to get it with the X-Pipe and stingers but the bark isn't there
If it's something that it looks like I can swap easily then sure I'll bite. I'll PM or post once I take a look under the car and see if it's possible. Man it'd be cool it if is

I was thinking the same thing yesterday when I had plenty of time on my hands posting... I'll get something up there this weekend.

Cutting another hole:

Attachment 20242 Attachment 20243

Not quite as big as the last hole I cut into a car, but a hole nonetheless. There was already a tiny hole there where the wires originally ran through back in the day, but I needed it big enough to fit a plug in and out when I want to hook up the light bar at a car show. Now I just have to find a 1 1/2" hole plug.

I had to break a brand new Dewalt jigsaw blade in half so it wouldn't go through the headliner.

TacoBill

Back from Tom's house for his supercharger install party. 3 4.0's were getting the X-Charger treatment today.

Custom tuning was done by the man himself, Doug from BamaChips!!!

Leo, Brian and myself had the pleasure to meet and talk to him.

Doug is the one with the X-Charger shirt.

TacoBill

Well, it happened on the way home today.

Yes, it was an illegal street race in Long Beach.

Both of us at the redlight and waiting for the GREEN.

Light changed, I jumped ahead of Leo and smoked him big time!

All that track experience couldn't help Leo today. Like others before him, he fell prey to TacoBill's GT!

(Waiting for Leo's excuse... )

TacoBill

I'm sure you weren't as nervous this time around!

Finished the lightbar install yet? We want pics!

89Trooper

Sounds like a fun day. Doug looks younger than I imagined him to be.

How much is 'big time'? A car length? 2 car lengths?

A good race would be me and Leo. Curious to see if the manual can out perform his extra HP and less weight.

89Trooper

Not nervous at all.

It's a lot more than a lightbar install... it's freakin' everything!

It will all be done tomorrow and I'll do better than pics. I'll have a daytime video showing all the functions (with no lights), and then a nighttime video showing all the lights.
