I've looked at the threads pertaining to the one member that utilized a 3" single pipe, but the site recommended I start a new thread instead of posting in another.
Without jacking up my car and taking measurements myself, does anyone have some fairly exact measurements of the stock cat-back and good pictures of the underneath? I'm contemplating building my own cat-back and pairing it with a good set of catted down pipes next summer, but I'd like to draw it up and see what it looks like on paper. Cost-wise, I'm looking at around $700 for materials and I'd fab it up in the garage.
I figured on using 2.5" dual into 3" single y-collectors at each end, a single (maybe a pair) 3" in/out race bullet(s) in the center, and a 2.5" in/out race bullet on each side at the rear, with 3.5" tips at the bumper.
I fabbed up the exhaust on my '79 Capri using a pair of the 2.5" in/out race bullets, and it's obnoxiously loud. I did expect that, with a healthy V8 though, which is why I'm considering 1 or 2 mufflers in the center section. That should help with the volume and the tone, while still allowing the turbo to breathe properly.
