Hey Dan, can you get a measurement from the mid pipe hangers to the collectors as well? I and I'm sure others would really appreciate it.
Thanks

 

BTW, the center to center of my Hooker Collectors is 22.5" or so.

SWEET!!!, Can we get a vid with the pipes hooked up?

 

with 2 full days of driving around I hardly noticed cops caring at all. I didnt put my foot into it like I normaly would because it really wakes up over 2k rpm. A lot of drivers in my area looked confused, probably thought something was wrong, a few others seemed to like the sound.

The H-Pipe got modified for $20 so its going on tonight with the back half. I may be able to take a new vid tommorrow but dont hold me to it.

would the jba h-pipe work with these babies?

 

I dont know, you would have to enquire about the center to center of the pipe that connects to the header collector (22.5"). Right now Im trying to bend the steel hangers so I can muscle the stock H Pipe back on. I'll take some pics if I can find enough room.

Just give JBA a call and ask em. Hopefully they could tell ya.

Thats what a daily driver should sound like I wish I could afford to do that to mine ....sounds AWESOME ...

 

The H-Pipe is back in and connected to the collectors and the SLP LMs are still in place. The only restrictions in this system are coming from the bends in the exhaust pipe as it goes over the axle.

I'll post that new "all buttoned up" video once everything is exhaust leak free. Hopefully it sounds just as good but a bit more quiet, I really dont want a fix it ticket that could lead to an emissions inspection. :P

Dayum, Dan... that is frikkin sweet. Reminds me of the good old days. <sniff>

I really want to hear it again with the rest of the pipes on.

 

The measurement is approx. 4" from the edge of the hanger's bracket that is welded to the mid pipe.

I didnt properly seat all the pipes so Im getting a really bad vibration at several different spots in the system. I'll redo the work tomorrow, if its a pleasure to my ears I will definitely share with you all.

Any trouble with your ground clearance and your hookers ?

Ok, maybe that sounds a little weird phrasing it that way. LOL




Since your have Eibach Sportlines - any issues with speed bumps, bottoming out etc....
I would hate to have the collector bang on something and cause some damage to one of the
heads. Am looking at a similar setup except am adding bassani x-pipes and mufflers.
I currently have the H&R super sport springs (1.7 fr and 1.9 rear) drop.

 

that sounds amazing!

 

 

The clearance of the collectors arent really the concern, its the stupid U-bolt exhaust clamp that is just a bit too long on the underside that it becomes an issue. I drove over a higher than usual gas station tank fill port and I bent one end of the clamp back that holds the mid pipe over the header collector.

Im in search for the lower profile slip clamps, like the ones that connect the mid pipe to the back half of the exhaust.
