Well, I looked at my Ex's underside today and found out a little something about the exhaust system...
So, provided that my observations were accurate, I should be able to drop out the stock system from the behind the headers, (I bet straight headers sounds sick on this big V8!) salvage the stock piping, and replace the cat and muffler.
I guess I can go with a Magnaflow 94006 Universal Catalytic Converter, a Hushpower II or Delta Flow from Flowmaster, and the stock piping from the muffler back with a nice tip. All of the piping is 2.5" (im pretty sure) and I think the rest should be basic welding and bolting.
Cost? Id say about $350 - $450. The cat and muffler would each be about $125 each, the tip would be about $35 - $50, and the installation would be $100 - $150 depending where I go.
Wish me luck, and any input is appreciated.
- The headers are reeeally small, and there is no space for anything much bigger.... there go some of my hopes of aftermarket headers.
- After the pre-cats, the main cat is about the size of a small boulder and is only separated from the muffler by about three inches of pipe.
- Everything but the downpipe-cat connection is welded... so much for easy installation.
- There are no O2 sensors. cool.
