Ambulance Modification

[firefighter3110]

Alright, I am currently the maintenace person at a small ambulance company ( I am a full time EMT their and maintenace is my secondary job), basically I do the oil changes, tire rotations and anything else that needs to be done. Anything major such as engine/tranny work goes to a shop. Recently the covering of the muffler came off and I asked my manager if I could replace the whole system with stacks on either side of the box, he said yes, which i wasnt expecting. I have looked under the vehicle and checked some thing out. I have seen that it wouldnt be hard to split the original tubing and start new ones that branch to either side, run up the side of the box and end in some stacks. So now im asking, does anyone know where I can get stacks and just a bunch of tubing so I can make an exhaust system myself, or some suggestions on what I should do, such as do I need to add headers and do I need to have mufflers on their. Anything else would be appreciated such as watch outs and any other pointers. My boss pretty much wants to make this ambulance a badass ride since right now its pretty gutless. So anything would be much appreciated.

since it is most like ly to have the v-8, run straight pipes with a balance tube and use cherry bombs or glasspacks as "stacks". just weld 3 or 4" tips to the end of the muffler body for the big look. i did that on my front wheel drive cutlass and people kept asking me if i had some kind of big motor under it. sounded great too

Hi, The exhaust modification sounds like a real trip if you can get around the catalitic converter problem...Have fun, Clay...
