    Driving a sick engine and oddly enjoying it.

    When I was in Highschool, there was a little old lady in town with a '66 Dart GT, Mauve (purple) with a white Signet interior. I always admired it, and one day on my way home from school I saw it T Boned in an intersection. She was OK, but the car was a total. I tried to buy it but the shop that...

    What to tell the exhaust shop.

    I would do 2.50 right off the headers. Any competent exhaust shop that does custom bending should be able to handle that. If you think about it the placement of the collectors was designed so you could get access to them with a large enough pipe to make them worth their while. That's just me...

    What to tell the exhaust shop.

    Where there is a will, there's a way. What size are the collectors? My thinking is this ( in general, as I have never hopped up a slant, but an engine is an engine, right?)

    What to tell the exhaust shop.

    Why not go 2.50 the whole way? The exhaust gas is biggest right out of the header, that is where the bigger pipe is needed.
