3 inch pipes over the axle?

some said no way in hell.. others said well maybe but... others said why? well because its possiable!

the guy that been doing some of my families exaust systems did it!

its 2-1/2 to a 2-1/2 X-pipe (a Tru-X pipe from Mangaflow.. shameless plug) to 3 inch mandrel bends to Mangaflow (another shamelss plug!) stainless steel muffers to up and over with 3 inches over the axle out the rear behind the tires. all with no mods to rearend or gas tank! the only mod was redoing the path of the fuel line out of the tank. did i say Mangaflows?

and incase your wondering about why 3 inches after the x pipe?... well the dyno runs we did at work proved best with that set up on a small block ford pushing between 300 and 380 or so to the wheels check it out in one of last years car crafts.. sorry forgot what month.

and thanks for the guys lastnight who sent me pics of there exaust.

 

the rest of it.. did i say magnaflow again ? lol

 

3in Exhaust

Maverick man that is absolutely perfect. I hope I can get that quality of work up here?

 

yep.

I got over my axle with 3" too.
I went all the way out the back but had to go between the spring and the frame on the drivers side to do it.
I'll be redooing it at some point before too long and I'll either dump behind the tires or do the mustang tank or fuel cell swap and go straight out the back again.
No pics. These pipes, while functional are waaay too ugly to show off!

 

Re: yep.

thats where i dumped them...

 

Re: yep.

thats where i wanted it.... i had to redo my fuel pump tonight though.. it was too close to the fuel lines... but fixed now.

 

Looks nice Derrick.
Those Magnaflow tips are pricey. Did you get them complementary?

 

er uh? sponsorship....so yeah i guess you could say so.... very nice people to work with! however just means another freakin sticker on the window!

the x pipe is made very good though! the muffers are a bit too quite for me even with the 3 inch piping .... but if anyone is looking for quite.. this set up is the way to go!

 

Another great mod by the Maverick Man!!! Looks great!!!
So, how does it sound?

 

btw....... car craft issue March 2002 I believe is the article your refering to....

 

too quite! but don't sound like a turbo muffer or a chambered muffler. kinda of houshie.. can't explain the sound.

 

man that is nice can you post a pic of your hole car?

 

I assume that the guy that did the tail pipes has a mandrel bender??

 

not up to date but here it is anyways

 

hum you know your stuff! but yes and no... he didn't have 40k to buy a mandrel tube bender, so i got all the pipes prebent mandrels. they make them in all differant sizes and pre-bent-shape.. did i say Magnaflow has them...(i bet i got already 10 people to visit their website already) lol ... nah but summit, jegs, walker, carries them too.

as you probably already know with 3 inches most muffer shops won't want to touch this over the axle job. most benders wont do that kind of bend with out it kinking it! or at least with that nice of a transition.
