    IF you want a loud exhaust I would Recommend SPIN TECHS...!!!

    in the 4th pic, the tranny linkage is awfully close to the header ( will def burn from radiant heat). and in the 5th pic, I had the shop weld some brackets to hold that X-pipe together. vibrations may slowly cause a leak in that area. let me see if I have some pics.

    here ya go, those triangular looking plates were welded in four places along the X-pipe . I also put some heat sleeves on the tranny lines and tranny linkage.

    I am MOST definitely going to put a heat sleeve on the tranny lines and tranny linkage. I didnt think about that..Thanks for the advice. I am going to go back to KOOKS and see if they can weld me some brackets. BETTER be safe then SORRY..!

    What do you have sprayed on the X-Pipe..?

    since we flanged a few areas for install, I sprayed hi-temp paint on the welds, then got carried away and sprayed just about everywhere. here's a pic of the heat sleeves



    and the flange just forward of the muffler.

    AWSOME…! I really appreciate the picks and advice.

    I am MOST definitely going to do some investigating into getting the X pipe mounted up a little better for LONG TERM SAFETY..
    Where can I order the heat shield wrapping..
    Thanks again.. O and get some Spin Techs on there if you want it louder….! Trust me its well worth it…!

    I think the heat sleeve was from summit racing. 3/4 or 1" diameter.
    try to use metal tie wraps for durability, but plastic should also work fine.
    I do like the quality of the Kooks system. no leaks whatsoever. they are staying with the car. stage 8 locking bolts too, so it's too much of a pain to remove anyway.

    I don't think I want it any louder, and those spin techs look funny. lol.
