I found some Borla XR-1's. Guy at work needed some Mustang parts and we did a bit o tradin. Sooo… Borla bitches!

I am taking it to an exhaust shop in Nashville next week. It's gonna be about $850 from the turbo to the bumper all welded no clamps. With Flowmaster 50 series muffler and all 2.75" stainless tubing. I could get the 3" stuffed in there, but he told me it was much more difficult and would be about $200 more. Whatever. Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I will post up some update pictures soon.

Floss? Like dental floss? Maybe Im missing something there.

WD40 and lacquer thinner seem to work the best. I still have the spots there, I guess sap took the clear with it. Meguires quick wax helped. She really needs some paint.
Sorry but no pictures, camera is dead.

Thanks for all the advice.

Any particular reason? Curious is all

The flange isnt really the issue. I bought that dp hoping that it would work better for the AWD and its 3". I had it rigged up with a couple of other pipes, but it looked like immortal shit. I am really trying to make things look better. In the past I make shit work and dont really care if it looks good. Im trying something new.



Its rumored that this section of the floorpan/firewall is getting cut today. If I cut a 8" x 12" section out the dp will fit without any other issues. Just flip the section over, weld into place, flip heat shields over and enjoy -maybe-. I really dont want to do it this way b/c I want it to look nice.



This is where it's hitting. I dont know if I could cut the dp under the flex joint and maybe get the muffler shop to go from there or what. Frikkin asswhores.

The motor isnt built in the manner that most people here do. I used mostly Volvo parts. New rods, pistons, "R" multi-layer head gasket, head bolts, new style oil p/u tube and oil pan, new lifters and cams. All from different crap that I have written down somewhere . Seems to run good at the moment, but I really need to get the exhaust fixed.
