Pics of new dual exhaust on '87 Caprice

[deesandvees]

Got some nice work done on this exhaust so I thought I'd post some pics for your viewing pleasure.

700r4 trani with the 700r4 crossmember, chopped (see pic) and welded 200r4 arch to left side to make this a double hump crossmember.

CSI mini high torque starter just barely fits out the opening between the headers and the block. I've had to take it in and out about ten times shimming it to work perfectly.

Wow that's just beautiful. Oh how I wished mine looked like that.

Looks excellent, however if it were mine, I'd throw a balance pipe on it. That's an H or X pipe ahead of the mufflers, that connects both systems together. It helps reduce pulsing and back pressure.

I considered that. I might do it later on, I was worried about it getting in the way if I'd have to take out the trani or anything like that. I've got 1300 miles on the new motor/trani and all seems well so far.

You'll be dropping the exhaust to do the trans anyways, so why not do it?

By the way those pics from under the car were taken with my cell phone...pretty decent camera on this thing:

Not too bad. The camera in my phone doesn't take clear, crisp pictures, more like blurry jagged ones.

Nice Job.
I wish i could get away with all those performance modifications on my 89 wagon here in so cal. The smog cops wouldn't like it to much.
