Looks like i'm getting closer to taking my mav on a test drive so i started working on the exhaust system trying to do it cheap. I found a T-bird at the junkyard with flowmasters so i took them off and tricked the counter guy into thinking they were stock mufflers and i got them for 17.99 each...... At home I decoded them with my flowmaster catalog and they're 40 series. The exhaust pipe I got the big 6'6" section at my local hardware store for $15.99. It's not technically exhaust pipe but its galvanized and light so it'll last and ive done it before on other cars with great results. Before I went to the hardware store I had stopped at autozone to see how much the aluminized steel pipe that they have cost,$7.99 a foot And I still had to buy one but I also had one laying around the house so I saved some money there. Today I'm welding it up and I'll take a vid and upload it 2"-2 1/4"40 series-Dumps @axles My neighbors are going to love them PICS ON PAGE 2 Video here: http://youtu.be/tep__cXgTRA
heres the vid...sorry it took so long sounds very quiet at idle, sounds great at WOT but i can hear the engine more than the mufflers themselves. http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g306/mav75/ (its named 40S flows)
Also, post some pics of the finished product. This is the kind of job I would be proud of. Cheap, but effective I bet it sounds GREAT!
i recorded with my digital camera that takes great pics but has records badly but in real life they sound quieter than in the vid,and they were resting on blocks when i took this vid, yesterday i got the hangers welded on.
This setup the maverick has right now is just temporary i just want to get the car "street legal" as fast as i can,after a couple of months i'm going to be putting back most of the factory interior back in and i'm swapping the engine, the new one will have headers with a 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 Exhaust with the pipes exiting out the rear.
