3800 downpipe problems

[smug]

So I bought a rt downpipe from a member off club gp, wait a long time for it to get here. Open the box like its Christmas Day and, I got one for TOG headers and i dont have TOG. He told me it bolts to stock exhaust and now i have a expensive piece of pipe laying in my room. :angry: Is there anyone that can make and adapter to go from manifolds to a rt 3" downpipe that bolts to TOG headers?

welll......you could get TOG's or you can hunt the guy down like wild game a mount him in your garage, i would sell it for what its worth then buy the right one iot will make it easier on you and theres plenty of people with TOG's, i think if anyone fabs one up you chance leaks and annoying noise, but if you really want one made, you could ask ron vogal hes good at fab'ing some exhaust work, id wrap it tho when your done

please dont go to james dean, he knows nothing about DP's on our cars, he leaves the stock flex in place, and thats the main restriction, dont waste money, hes not a performance expert by anymeans, he does decent catbacks that are over priced....go to him for only that, go to fair muffler they build them right...or give ron vogal a call hes been doing them for years you will need to wrap it tho, good working DP"S are noisy which is why they are triple piped from the factory with a real restrivtive flex

w-body store is working on pre fab one for if you go to there site

i know about dean and i was not going to go there for a downpipe. Good down pipes just make the exhaust a little louder, no ticking, right.

it still might tick. It all matters on the alot of things. it still might tick but the less is better.

ticking is there its just more noticable w/o a cat.....well very noticable w/o a cat

but wraping helps ....alot im wrapping mine double layer then spraying it for protection and then got a clamp on flexable heat sheild to go around the bottom to protect form rain and moisture...the spray is supposed to help with that 2

wbodystore should be coming out with several more DPs very soon...

they already have weld-in and bolt-on "offroad" pipes. they should have a hi-flo cat version very soon. and probably a bolt-on TOG pipe in the near future (to replace RT TOG pipe).

are you wanting to run a hi-flo cat?? or no cat??
