Back in '05 I got a new cat-less, free-flow exhaust fitted from the down pipes back
Now I'm getting rid of the large stainless muffler and having tail pipes exiting from both ends of the rear bumper
The fuel pump won't be an issue, as the guys are to fabricate a heat sheild to take care of that
I'd like to leave out the rear mufflers all together (against the advice of the exhaust shop) but, I'm wondering how loud this will make the car, excessively loud?
This is the look I'm going for...quad tips, you think this looks good or would single tips suit better?
Should be done next week
Looks great with quad tips, Don't leave out the center muffler.. The car will be very loud in the cabin. Leave out the rear muffler. It will sound good.
even with my flowmaster muffler, mine is a bit too loud for my liking. no mufflers is not reccomended. not only will it be ungodly loud, it will sound like shit. The tone will be all wrong. there are 2 places for straight pipes. the track, and Hazzard county, if you get my drift.
It looks fine with the duals an quad tips, just not something I'm used to seeing.
Don't go without mufflers. It will drone above 70 mph and you won't like that at all. Maybe you could ditch the resonators, but hang onto them awhile till sure you don't want them) and keep a good performance muffler on the car. (Which as pictured, looks like a real bad boy)!!
magnaflow. best mufflers made IMO. i'm doing center exit quads soon. in the planning, i cut the internally rusted out factory muffler off to mock up the piping for the new center exit and it's pretty loud. not rediculous.. just sounds more like a musclecar, which i'm not too fond of. but i've gotten many compliments on it, although it's hard to accept them since i disagree. i'd preffer a nice deep tone at idle/low rpm, and a smooth rasp-free roar at WOT. i'm tempted with a set of F1 mufflers but i don't know how they'll sound. but i assure you at least a single dual inlet dual outlet magnaflow will clean things up nicely.
youll loose lower end torque and it will sound too "barky" which sounds like arse, ive just added better resonateors on the back of my system and it sound bloody good, no more bark and acceleration is better. THe quad tips would be cool.
Thought I'd share a little research I did this weekend on dash lights:
The two larger light bulbs that illuminate the instrument panel are 3W, while the smaller bulbs for the row of idiot lights across the bottom are 1.2W. One part number that could be used for these are Sylvania (or Osram)...
1988 560SEL
I HAVE 3 keys and all do the same. It won't insert all the way unless I wiggle it around. Sometimes takes me a good 15 seconds of fiddling. Other door and trunk and ignition no problems. Does it need grease?
1990 420sel sat for approximately 18 months. Replaced FPR and now starts and idles fine. Revs up in park also with no problems. It had been close to empty when I first tried to get it running so I put 2 gallons of new gas from a can in it. It ran down the road fine(after the FPR). I then filled...
I just had a skid plate made for my lowered SDL (AFTER I cracked the oil pan:mad:). The guy who did it (a friend of my mechanic), used 1/4 inch steel resulting in something that I could probably jack the car up with! A little overkill for sure, but I don't want to deal with any more oil pan...
I have been approached by a member looking for more performance rear sway bars. Historically, there has been enough interest for an order every year around this time, so I figured I'd post this to gauge interest. I need at least 8 more confirmed buyers to place an order. Last batch was $230...
