What are headers going for on Ebay? It would probably be a hell of alot cheaper.

I like being able to say I made it.

Btw. Did you have to get the lawn mower belt for thr nest removal?

I found a belt from gatorback that fit perfect over all three pulleys.

Ive got to go get pipe tomorrow so Ill probably go by and get the rest of the compession gauge. I'd like to go ahead and check it. I need to find some NGKs too. Probably have to go to Prep Boys. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bling.gif

Well I got my pipe today. but after I got to looking at it I think Im just going to put a short pipe on it and throw the cherry bomb on it until I can get a 2 1/2in set up with a header. Right now Im just running 2in straight pipe to the back.

Has anyone ever done this before? I was wondering about the heat factors. I could send a pipe to the passenger side but I would rather just do a down pipe off the muff.

My old system was 2" straight to a glasspack at the rear.Man that was loud.Lasted 2 weeks of driving before a complaint to the cops made me have to quite it down.Did you test the compression yet?

I'm running a shorter stock belt but only have two pulleys.What your third pulley for?I pulled the AC out on mine(good gain and wieght saving).

My plan is to have only 1 pulley. Alternator. No aircon, no p/s, eletric w/pump, electric fan.

I guess it 2 not counting the main.

My setup looks like this.

And yea, I'd like to go with dual electric fans

The only place that I could get the brass I needed for the comp gauge was closed today so I have to do that tomorrow.

I worked on exhaust all day today. Im gonna have to go with 18in to the cherry bomb and then either a down or to the pass. side. If I can get the angle for a closure pipe Ill just hook up the old exhaust but Im not sure I can.

RAIN!!!! Man I hate when it Rains. I wish I had a Giant Shop.

I wanna work on my car!!!!!!!!

If it wasnt lightning Id just be getting wet. If I could get the muffler off I could goahead and put the short pipe on it and get it ready to go on the car.
