Out the bumper like this??

STOP. what kinda noise does that thing make?!

Prob all of it.

I still vote stacks with flappers out the hood.

Look closer, Mick :lol:

i see it makes none noise.

This is gonna happen as soon as the weather breaks and I can get the car out of the garage.
It’s still gonna be loud and should shoot flames when the nitrous is active.

You and Lance are gunna be a nice race huh? :bertstare:

Lance as in ****box?

Yessir.

I met lance off smallblockposse many many moons ago. That car is no joke now.

That's 3", correct? Let us know how it fits after you get it installed.

Yessir. Plan on installing this weekend.

Hopefully it starts after. :lol:

Measure those mufflers. Supposedly, a lot of folks want to replace them

None of which were able to lay on the ground for 7 seconds and measure?

I’ll measure tmmr, just cus your handsome

Got a little more than half done with the install today. Ran(moved as fast as I can) to the hardware store and replaced the clamp hardware with some grade 8 units. That seems to be what people are doing. The x pipe is 3 separate pipes, and it lined up fairly well. Much better than my Y pipe was lol it took a little muscle to get it lined and slid together. But it should be okay. I tighten all the clamps down with my 3/8th impact, and then pulled them a pit more with a large breaker bar. With a jack under the X of course, trying to keep it as tucked as I can.

Ran into a issue with the mid hanger. The hanger is optional, the first year of TD kits didn’t even come with it, but lowered guys were complaining so they came up with it. My car is going to be pretty low, so I figured I’d use it. HOWEVER, the bracket bolts to the car using a longer bolt that replaces the rear pass seatbelt buckle bolt. So you just pull the rear seat, pull the torx and thread the new longer bolt in. Then hold the hanger to the car using the bolt and a nut. my problem was I deleted the rear seats and belts... AND GLUED MY LIGHT OZITE DOWN AND FILLED THE BOLT HOLE WITH SILICON.


...so after about 40 mins of debate, I drove an ice pick threw the silicon from the bottom so it came through the carpet in the exact spot. Then I slit an X in the carpet and ran a drill bit through it a couple times. Cut a slit in the factory bolt(shout out to Kirk for telling me that trick a while ago) and cleaned the threads. Bracket done.

Over axle pipes are in place, but not tightened down. Will finish those tmmr

Not a single picture?

did anything really happen??

the "ice pick" tool had me cracking a smile. !

Tried to finish up the install last night but ran into some problems. Neither are that bad, and neither are of fault of speed engineering.

The kit comes with 5 hangers total. 1 mid hanger, that was taken care of already. Then 2 hangers that replace the factory hangers out back, and then 2 that bolt to were the rear crash bar bolts to for the tips.

I pulled the bolts for the pass side rear hanger out, and upon installing the supplied hanger, the threads were completely blown out. So there is currently only 1 bolt holding in the pass side exhaust hanger. But i dont think thatll be much of a issue.

Secondly, there is some studs (4 per side) off the rear impact absorber (plastic) that come threw the body with nuts on the inside of the rear cross body panel. The hangers for the tips bolt up to the lower 2 bolts per side. HOWEVER, since the studs are mounted in PLASTIC i ran into a little issue. Snapped the damn plastic. There is about 1" of stud sticking threw the bolt still, so im just gunna try to find some bolts and sandwich the hanger between both nuts. orrrr... pull the bumper and order a tubular unit.

Aside from you manhandling the install, that looks damn sexy.

Just a heads up, Speed Engineering already knows this is an issue, those clamps are going to leak like a sieve.

I'd buy bigger clamps or buy V Bands and bring the whole thing to Jackson and I'll weld V bands on

hmmm... i thought i read they swapping the hardware out solves it.

I think im going to end up eliminating some clamps on the system and just welding it. Just from the DS over axle pipe to DS tip there is 3 clamps. Ill prob just keep the clamp at the over axle pipe and have the axle axle to tip 1 unit. Same thing for pass side. Pass side over axle pipe has clamp at that union, 1 clamp to hold muffler on, and 1 clamp to hold tip to muffler.

Its possible I missed an update, I was following them on their truck products and the last I read, their hardware was still an issue.

I think at least eliminating the clamps you plan on eliminating will be a good start.

I can tig it up if there isn't anyone more local to you

That exhaust looks pretty comfortable!

no chassis mount ta for you?

Yes. Should clear. Prob won’t. A few people in the tech thread for this set up had no issues, hoping for the same. I also have the 3 point SFCs, and the Tq Arm X member sandwiches them to the body, so it’ll Give me a bit less than 1/4” extra of clearance

Do you have another idea for DS loop? The one that comes on the TA is gonna be a tight fit. You can run without one at track rentals because they don’t do much “teching” but you may have issues on regular race nights. Along with they are good to have especially with a stock DS.
