Nice! I bought one of these for my sister about a year ago, she loves it and I secretly love it too. Hers has a Randy Webb header, Alta exhaust, 19% pulley, Alta intake, Alta intercooler, and a few other goodies. That thing is a rocket ship.

Only issue is that it rides like shit lol.

I forgot about the tool box sub box...

Why you selling it already??

Maryland has ridiculous requirements for cars that aren't registered Historic, and it needs a lot of stupid little things that I don't have the time/ money for

Good thing you immediately ruined the A-pillar with that StanceWorks sticker!

Good thing it's been on there for almost 4 years now :)

How the fuck did I miss that part??? Funf your car is awesome :p

By the way, finally made a real exhaust if you wanna check it out some time for ideas. Hardest part was the mid pipe, followed by the y-pipe.

I definitely would! If I got the materials, would you mind helping me out with it? I'd pay your or buy you lunch or something.

Beer.

Anti-depressants (doing that exhaust was borderline suicide).... although then again considering how the hard part's already been done I guess it wouldn't be too bad.

You'll have to come over and hear how well the cutout works to decide whether you'll want one or not, but they are a bit pricey... in any case, here's the basic parts list you'll need:

50 feet of header wrap (I used about 40ft on my Y and mid), $37.97

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/lng-64870

5 pack of flanges, $21.97

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cto-f8

Pipe kit from summit, $219.97 (though to be honest, all you really need is two of the straight pipes [they're 4' long each] two 90's and I think all four U's, that's what I used now that I think about it. I found the 45's to be pretty much useless)

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-670146

6" Flexy pipe, $23.10 (optional, but HIGHLY recommended. I imagine it would be an absolute bitch to remove the y-pipe otherwise)

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/vpe-64806

This motherfucker here is clutch for making the passenger side header shoot back for the y-pipe, $19.97

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-670177

[Optional, but highly recommended] Zaust cutout $220.50

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/qtp-qtec25cp/overview/

[Optional, but highly, highly recommended] 2x sets of v-band clamps for the mid pipe $60

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/dtc-794-91225/overview/

It's expensive as fuck, but doing v-band clamps for the midpipe gives you ALOT of room to work with... in the sense that you don't have to unbolt your passenger motor mount and jack the engine up as high as it'll go to barely get the midpipe in and out. That and apparently they're leak free seals.

So basically, if you wanted to do it the way I did, you'll end up spending around $650 including the muffler. I guess you could knock that down to $450 if you skipped the cutout and did some type of flowmaster or whatever.... but if you did that I would also recommend a resonator. Also, I'm sure you could source the mandrel pipes for a lot less than $220, but it should be noted that the pipes that came in that kit have pretty thick walls and definitely won't be rusting out any time soon (also not cheap metal).

Just hit me up some time... preferably when it's gotten warmer

The EFI turned carburetor build?

Loving the rust touch up update, #-1 build in '14.

[FunfGan]

Dave that's awesome! And I can give you money for beer, but I can't buy it hahah.


And yeah, I'll probably just do no cut out, and straight pipe back to two 4" polished blast pipes, but in the meantime I'll get the rest ordered!

And we can definately wait till it's warmer, and if you want even just the main section would be fine, I can figure out the rest as I'll be experimenting with different mufflers and resonators.

[jalopi]

Hahaha omg, not even a muffler? Lol. Just make sure you buy two v-band clamp kits... those are crucial for the mid pipe.

BTW, should've mentioned you can just do a budget cutout - bit of a bitch to turn on/off, but it's a very cheap (read: $30) alternative that you can add the electric part to later:

Seriously, you'll have to swing by sometime this week/end, the difference between on/off is amazing. The ability to be like "I wanna go for a drive. It's 9PM" and not piss of your neighbors is glorious.

I daily drove the car for a year and a half open header, including multiple 4+ hour trips, I don't mind the noise LOL.


But I'll definitely swing by, maybe Saturday? I'll text you.
