Got to get back to my V8 before it becomes a parts car! I robbed the Optima for my van and some seals for neo914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Great work.


yeah, I just love the power, but I'm still breaking in the motor since it's only got about
about 50 miles on it.

Black is definately classy. BTW, I saw your paint job experiment, WOW!

Just welded up some 2" muffler mid pipes which connects the headers to the 3" mufflers in the rear. This gives me the option to run a quiet system (to able a enjoy music) or a more deep toned exhaust system.

Here's the original 2 1/2" mid pipes I made. They both sound good, but these pipes create a deeper resonance in the cabin. No noticable difference in performance.

Can't sleep, maybe I'm too excited about manana's " crystal cove" car meet. Well anyways,today, I yanked out my rear window to tint it (low cars really get it in the eye at night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)) and change out the 33 year old petrified seal. It's so easy to remove, tint (flat glass), and reinstall............wish I done this years ago.

Pic before tint job. I'll shoot some pics with the tinted window and tinted front windshield strip at daylight tomorrow.

BTW. the tint cost about 11 bucks at autozone (enough for rear window and front windshield strip) and the butyl tape was 8 bucks also at autozone.

Tom,

your project is looking great. i'd be interested in talking to you about how you did the exaust. i've got to dump my current exaust since it's a 1/2 assed job and it won't work with the ceramic headers.

whatever info you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks for the kudos!

Do you have a pic of your headers? If they are hugger style headers, I can sell you my 2 1/2 inch mid pipes and you can just weld up some 2 1/2 " mufflers to them. I have 3" mufflers in the rears but I think 2 1/2" mufflers would sound better. Or I can just take a full pic of my exhaust system for you to see if you plan on welding one up yourself. Let me know either way.

I gotta dig the new headers out of my stuff and let you know. i'm pretty sure your mids will fit. if you have a full pic of the exaust just post it.

thanks

what color are you painting your car?
