New wheels/tires and exhaust

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Been making a little progress on the car. New wheels/tires and new exhaust. I was getting a little concerned about how the alum wheels would look, but they turned out okay. The exhaust is getting re-done in an effort to quite it down a bit for the street. The mufflers have built in dumps that can be unbolted at the track. Not the greatest photo, but exhaust will pass through the x-pipe and 3" glasspacks then either be dumped or go to the side exit. What I really like about this configuration is being able to unbolt the exhaust and slide it out from under the car in one unit.

I can't seem to get a good handle on photo posting here.  Looks like they'll all have to be lumped together below.  Included is the old 275/60/15 combo, the new 255/50/17 combo and a view of the exhuast under construction.

	Carl, photobucket works well on this board, but your pics posted fine. Wheels look nice! I did something similar with my exhaust, I had header collector 3 hole rings after the mufflers so I can drop out the mid pipe.

	The wheels look good - the black creates a nice contrast with the orange paint.
