Ordered Exhaust!!!

[sturgeon-phish]

Finally after saving for about a year, I saved enough to order a Kennedy Exhaust. :D :D Can't wait to get it on. A friend is already lined up to help.
I'll keep you posted! :D :D :D

The only issue that I had with the exhaust is the down pipe rubbing on the firewallupper floor board in reverse. It only happens when I goose it in reverse. you might want to try to dent any close contact areas. Also be carefull removeing/installing the downpipe-to-turbo clamp as it is stainless and will strip easily.
Other than that the kit was a short day install for one person. EXCELLENT kit!
Hope this helps!

And inspect motor mount condition. Keep in mind that the flange at the turbo is omewhat of a ball type joint that will allow you topivot the downpipe on it slightly. The V clamp is the last thing that I tighten. I snug it up then twist the pipe a bit to loosen it up and allow movement.

What Conley recommended is also a plus. There is a pinch seam where the floor meets the firewall and the tab is spot welded together. I lay this flat with a hammer as it can get close on some vehicles.

Exhaust delivered today. Looks great. Next free day, several days away, got to wait till then to put it on.

Got the exhaust installed. MUCH easier than I even hoped for! smile.gif Fit like a glove, only modification was shortening one pipe. Connectors, hangers all first quality. Start to finish about six hours. Took extra time to ensure clearance. I can see where a larger diameter would be a big hassle to install. I took my wife for a drive and she did not think it was much louder than my original exhaust, this was a big concern. But wow what a difference in acceleration. Turbo whistle so sweet :cool:
Thanks John for a great product!

So how long before you do gauges and chip it?
