It lokks good, just hope it fits and sounds even better!

would have been better resized to 640 x 480

Am I missing something? struggling to get it into perspective.... doesnt look like a v6 exhaust to me?

[Jimbob]

Ahhh think ive got it, single pipe for most the run instead of 2

After all the hassle you have had I hope it fits and sounds OK.

See where you are coming from Jimbob. Before I fitted my Jetex stainless system I was quoted £380 for a Longlife system, only to have it amended to £580 when they realised it was a dual system so I'm guessing that some V6's went straight to single pipe after the Cats.  :-/
The straight exits into the Y piece as opposed to the curved would imply this system is like that.
Good luck with the fitting blackviper.

First time I've used drop box. Think I got it right regarding links, does the program re-size or do I use another program?

Cheers Jimbob

Cheers YZ250 - as you say, from the cats into 1 pipe, then just has the twin exit. I just really hope this is the right exhaust 

Last time I had a s/s exhaust was when I was stationed in Germany in mid 90's. I put a Janspeed on a 2.0l Sierra and that sounded awesome! lol.

Still a boy racer at heart

You resize before passing to dropbox - see the newbies guide in the newbie section, or think theres one in test zone as well waiting for me to finalise it.

Cant see that being a straight fit as the flanges on the cat joint are sat at an angle. You might have to retain part of the old exhaust

Yes, looking at that, it looks like you will have to chop the middle sections of the old system at exactly the right point to slide into that y piece.
It will call for some careful measuring, if you cut too much off the old system you'll be 'dangle berries'ed.
There will also be an increase in backpressure, channelling what looks like 2 x 2" diameter pipes into what looks like a 2 1/8" diameter pipe.

This is beginning to sound like a bit of a nightmare :-/
v6alex told me he had taken this straight off HIS prefacelift estate....looks like more gremlins in the "pipework"
Ref the backpressure increase, is that a problem?

[feeutfo]

Am I the only one that's reluctant to fit two into one for the last section....? I realize some v engines have a single exit back box, but even so. :-/

Just had a Stainless system from cats back fitted by Longlife today for a few pence under £400. Judging by pic single pipe to rear box.


Also was able to choose which tailpipe configuration i wanted.
