Making progress! ?????

[Speedrdr]

Few more pics of the build. Engine firmly in place. Headers bolted up. They had to kind of take a die grinder to the vacuum booster bracket to get clearance for throttle linkage. Always a fitment issue when you modify something under the hood. Lol. Bolted the muffler directly to the header...thinking I'll need to go to the muffler shop for a "revision" as THAT ain't gonna cut it for angle and ground clearance. Open for suggestions. You

Yeah, but I bet it keeps the dust off of the rear end!;D
Or maybe it adds to it? I don't know, but I would not want to be sitting on a dusty trail waiting for traffic with the engine running. Bet it creates it's own dust devils!

Glad it's coming along.
As for exhaust, I'm all about 2-into-1 anymore. Or at least if you're going to keep it duals, run them both down the passenger side. It's just way too busy on the driver's side.

Oopsie! Meant for this pic and got two of the butt. Lol.

Well, that's the one on the drivers side. I'm figuring that the muffler shop is gonna see me for a 'revision' before I'm done. Lol. Even if it wasn't going off road, which it WILL, that's just wrong at so many levels. I'm told maybe two weeks ??? before I can get it home. We'll see. I'm probably gonna fix it where I can rotate the exhaust and run open headers...I live in the county and have neighbors that like to sit in the road and crank up their thump at two a.m. I have retribution to exact, so to speak, because they frown on gunfire. Lol

By the way, there are stickers on the bumper that say 'Superlift'. Never heard of them, but I'm guessing that's what is under the front end. The rear has blocks that WILL be replaced with something besides blocks.

Thanks, sprdv1 for the long rotation on pics. I'm just a wee bit tech impaired. Lol. Also appreciate the link for superlift. Will have to check them out and see can I figure out what spring set I have in front.

[Speedrdr]

By the way, how did you rotate the pics??

Speedrdr, I'll chime in...it has to do with the orientation of the camera originally that originally took the image. On my iPhone, only one or two phone orientations produce images that are natively in the correct direction (phone straight up and rotated horizontally with the home button on the right).To correct for photos taken with different orientations I synced my phone with my computer to download the images then opened the images and saved them in the correct orientation. That seemed to fix my problem.

I am a Big Fan of the 2-into-1 Exhaust on the Passenger Side as well.

Her is an example on a mild 351W with 2 1/4" Pipe and 2 1/2" Exit at stock location. Flowmaster Super 50 Series muffler was also installed.
