I had a vain hope that the exhaust off the mustang would be somewhere near....no such luck!

so here goes fitting 4 cats in!

Thats the passenger side. I have one more to fit behind that then I'm going to merge it into the back half of the 3" scrapyard system that was on the car before.

Hmmmmm guns.........yeah.......they scare me, but it is funny here that as long as the car passes smog its legal. It can have no brakes but that doesn't matter, just smog!

Exhaust progress.
3 cats in one to go then I have to join it up with the single XR system.

So I needed a 2 into 1 exhaust coupler. After looking on ebay they were all $100 so down to the yard I went.

$5 later

Ive not cleaned anything, I just wanted to get the system on to see what I sounds like!

It sounds AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job - you're a better man than I.

BTW, just noticed the 3000GT calipers reference in your signature - have you installed those yet?

Only mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday sun... and also they have tendencies to weld crazy exhaust systems..

Done a little bit more.

With my anniversary coming up I needed to find a cheap solution to fit the rad and fans in with the long old accessories I'm running.

The front crossmember was a little buckled from various knocks its had over its lifetime and a piece of box section from the steel place was $7...solution found.

I have to remove the old bumper vertical things as that where the rad is going to go.
