cobbled together exhaust
quickturbo had pm'd me few weeks ago wanting to know what i'd been up to
which kinda spured me on to post this - thanks for the motivation
did this back when turbob6 was selling his set up & i was
(really it was all done but the final welding)
this is a modified t88hspl down pipe 3.75 --> 4" extension --> dual 3"
sorry for the football flanges on the 3" but the v-bands back ordered 3x's
massaged the stock tips to cover the 3" tails (sleeper look)
https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/sh...0/ppuser/13123
crap couldnt get the pics to host right - dumped into the gallery - sorry
john
also have a few dyno vid's if OLT or someone could tell me how to properly
post it on the dyno sticky

How hard was it to stretch the OEM tips over the 3" pipes?

quikturbo - thanks
gonna try w/ the vid's - if this site crashes dont ban me, i was only tring to up load them
OLT - thank you i'll probably try that tonight (see above)
soarer_25gtt - not as bad as you would think
once the tip asm. is off the stock tail theres a little inner structure inside (adapts the tip down in size)
i measured the back spacing so i could duplicate it w/ the new pipe
there is 2 small tac welds on the bottom, took a die grinder to the welds & the adaptor will
come out. little reshaping by hand & slide over the 3" / retac weld together - done
basically there free to this point - but the chromer needed to take a 100 or so off me to dip 'em
but i ended up w/ a stock looking big pipe exhaust thats reasonably quiet

I love that exhaust 
Why? Because it looks stock from the back. As much as I adore the thought of putting magnaflows on my car, I cannot stand the "open cannon" look of those 4in (ish) tips.

john thanks for fixing that - its nice having friends who understand my internet handicap
i'm trying to work thru it 1 post @ a time
i've said it before in other posts, we have similar tastes 
BUT you can have both - these are magnaflow 14239's they are offset 3" in/out
& the cases are tiny compared to stock
:cough: :cough if i could only get 1 of these dyno vids up you could hear how it sounds :cough:
