? lol weight reduction to the extreme? lol

Only way to run a crossflow f-body muffler & keep a mounted spare.

so all you did was reverse the hole? If you could have found a nice sheet of 1/8" sheet metal and cut out the size to fit the hole that would have been better i would think. That way you wouldn't have that raised as bubble

so let me get this straight...your going to mount the spare under the car?

I could have, but this was free, and already has the mount for the spare. I never put crap in my trunk...so I really don't care (wow, that rhymes). I stopped by Lowes to do the sheetmetal thing...just wasn't worth the coin to do a flat piece. I can't bead roll...so thin metal would be too weak, and thick would be too heavy.

Doing it this way was the most logical choice.

Yeah, but I am going to use a single muffler with 2 outlets. The "bubble" sits down too low to fit a muffler there.

If I need to change it, I can always put it back. I did 8-10 spot welds, and body puttied the rest. It'll be a snap to pop it out, and flip it back over.

Yeah, and if you ever get locked out you can come up through there too, lol.

Your putting a F-body muffler on it?

 

[Fish]

Seems logical. Single muffler with dual outlets. Plus it will change the sound some as well.

 

[Euro]

You're doing it wrong!!!!!!!!!!








j/p!

Yup, got a nice SS one off a guy on Chi-town racing for $15!

just don't put on a crapmaster. Altough it might sound better on the 3.8, it sounded like shit on the LS1's

 

[Ron Vogel]

I had flows on my old hot rod, and my 97 dakota V8, and they sounded great...but they sound like ass at anything other than idle in a 3.8.

Not any real way to make a 3800 sound good other than quiet it down so the SC can be heard.

Flowmasters sound good but flow like shit on LS1's.

 

[Smokinhot]

yeah, i hated the flowmaster i had on the old t/a but it was better than a stock muffler

The magnaflow mufflers are nice. They cut out the rasp quite a bit. Ive got an SLP crossflow on my car right now, and Im thinking of changing to a magnaflow this summer.
