I went to Mandrel Bending Solutions today and had 3" exhaust installed. Took from 9am till 7:30pm and they did a beautiful job. Car sounds awesome.
I had them put on the 100 cpsi racing cats and 18" flow through Dynomax mufflers. No more restriction.

Yes it is.

That looks first class all the way! i also noticed you have two O2 sensors on each header, shouldnt two be downstream of your converters?

I have the original upstream O2 sensors still in the exhaust. Removed the 2 downstream O2 sensors, turned them off in the program and mounted a wide band AFR sensor on each bank, before the cat.

I had alot of problems with the car, had to do a complete engine rebuild, tranny etc. when the final dyno is done, I'll be doing a write-up un the complete build. I'm not one to post with every little move. I would rather wait to complete the project then post it.

Really nice exhaust work. Looks great. I look forward to your write up too.

Perhaps we will see you in Louisville?

Wow I thought it had a daily fresh Terminator swap with a rebuilt trans when you picked it up? Sorry to hear at least your close to getting it done. Once you heavily modify it never ends.... Trust me I know.

Yours and the one I have now were for sale at the same time. If i hadn't bought this one, I was going to buy yours, fly to Cali and drive it home.

Well done on the exhaust job. MBS is good stuff for sure. I like the merged X pipe. So how does it sound?
