94 ASPIRE

[nitrofarm]

Two nights ago my exhaust blew out on the highway. Got some new pipes & a Glass Pack. Fab it up last night.Come in for a shower.No Hot water coming from the sink.Wifey says, HEY THERE"S NO HOT WATER.Go downstairs & see a puddle under the heater :angryfire:
I think it sounds way better than stock.Check out the video at the end. I originally had a 1.5" pipe replacing the Cat.I didnt like the performance on the bottom end. Now I installed a 2" flex pipe in its place.It seems like it really helped the bottom end torque.Now to tackle the Hot Water Heater :angry1:

BP Festy part down

It took Mckabe's Dad & I @ 4 hrs to load this thing onto the car hauler. Had to use all hand tools & jacks etc. Took @ 4 min to unload it with a skid loader :eeeeeek: I hope the block didnt get cracked,I dont see any real damage except the timing cover area.
Gonna slice & dice this wreck in a couple days. I need the the RH rear quarter for my Black Festy. Mckabe got hit hard,took lots of extra time with the dash cus everything wash jus wedged together.All thats left is break/fuel lines. Such a shame there is NO rust on this car. Didnt even need a torch for the break lines. Thats a rarity here in WI
LOL ! Just noticed my oldest son looks really funny! No he's not retarded,but he just got his ACL done.Peace!

Nice work on that exhaust! Before you fixed this, did you use 1.5" in place of the cat because the rest of the pipes were 1.5? The haynes manual and various people I've asked said it's supposed to be a 1.75" pipe all the way back stock, but when I look at my pipe from the downpipe flange to the cat it seems like it's 1 1/4 or something, it's really tiny.

Mckabes old car looks like it was in cherry condition too, you can tell someone put time into that car.
