exhaust....... HELP
 
i was lookin under the lill pony today after givin her a lill exercise, i noticed no cats just straight pipes to the back and no cross over or x pipe .....shouldnt i have n x pipe or cross over in there to give it equilization between the both??????????? :banghead:

there should be an H-pipe with 4 cats (I think it's actually 2 pre-heaters and 2 cats to be specific)

i just looked again and all its got is straight pipes into mufflers then out to the tail pipes. i guees someone hacked the cats out. the o2 sensor is in the drivers side pipe but shes staight to the back with no cross over

Even the stock h-pipe has a tiny cross over.. it's 1/2" i think.

ya i stopped by the local muffler shop and its been gutted. the cats gone, no x or h pipe, the o2 sensor is on the drivers side , the air tube is on the pass side.......the guy told me about 1600. to replace all of it and put all new exhaust from the headers back......i then asked him he best be givin me a lill kiss or at least buy me dinner before he screws me............he didnt think i was very funny. :laughhard i thought i was funny.i guees i will do it myself at the local rent a shop i guess.any suggestions on where to go for exhaust parts? :banghead:

There are two 02 sensors.

Unless you plan on doing a bunch of motor work, go with a catted H/X/whatevered pipe. Stock headers are good to about 280 HP.. for that matter, if yours are trashed i have a set that are hogged/cleaned up, that you can have, pay the shiping [they are taking up space].

Cat back of your choice :)

There's lots of vendors right here on this board that can hook you up w/ the parts.

thanks schlodes. im going to go with a full exhaust. new headers, pipes . muffs the works. im probably going to go with a nitros shpt [ 150 ] or supercharge it. im not sure what to do .too many options to go with
i would like to get it to around 450 horses, wich would make it a true pony.
would those headers u got be good for 450?

Schlodes 10-31-2005 10:04 AM

Stock headers......................................
 
450 hp?? Pff, no.

If yer going to spray/boost/or do heads/intake/cam etc, get some good headers now then. If you plan on having stock motor for quite some time and tweaking on that, then yes, stock headers.
