Default Re: Tone Blue

Just a quick update. Sold my Orange 70 Nova two weeks ago. Had to let her go.

The exhaust on the car will be buttoned up this week. It's a 2.5 in Flowmaster American Thunder Transverse system that I installed in a weekend. Quick note, if you ever install one of these systems, make sure the H-pipe is installed in the right direction. Bends in the H-pipe must point down towards the ground. The install instructions did not have that listed. A quick phone call to Flowmaster was well worth it. Even the tech on the other end noted that they neglected to mention this important piece of info. I also used the original type exhaust hangers to hang the pipes up over the axel. My car was never a dual car, but I put nutserts in just because I hate taking the backseat out to get at nuts and bolts.

As I am not a dual exhaust out the back kind of guy, I borrowed an original GM 69 Nova exhaust tip from bbbenny and copied the tips. At the moment, I am going to make them work for that subtle stock look.
So far, everything fit up nicely and it still has that rumble I was looking for.

Come on warm weather!
