twin pipes nice
thanks for those guys they help a little, its more the chassis i need details of so i can see what options i have in exhaust outlet options ie;
my plan is so run a 2"pipe from cat back (after extractors) through a resonator to a "Y" piece, then have it split into two 1.5" exiting out both sides just infront of rear wheels with a couple race-bike mufflers.
i know its possible to have it exit out one side (drivers side here in oz) but i love the idea of twins and done right could sound unreal!!
thats the plan anyway. with a quick look the fuel tank could be in the way??? hence the need for some pics,

cheers,
elliot.

If i'm correct on this those are coolant pipes since there is a gas tank where the engine should be...

Yup , coolant pipes - has nothing to do with the exhaust

[ELUSIVE]

thought they had some strange fittings on them..

rear engine?

[graywolf_14]

Man I wonder how much coolant that thing takes... and getting all the air out would be a punk.

I think that's all I have from underneath that may help you out.

Safety Guy you're a champion, thanks heaps for that!!
anyone else got bottom shots (dont laugh) of their festy dont be shy post away!..

was it difficult removing the fuel tank safetyguy? just a few bolts? would the spare wheel well be the same or does that need to be cut out?

cheers

[Safety Guy]

You're welcome.

Fuel tank is not too bad. Four bolts plus one bolt to separate the e brake cable and then of course all the filler and vent piping has to be undone. With the rear axle in place it is a bit of a pain though. Remove the rear axle and it's easier.

Spare tire well is part of the rear end unibody. You could cut it out, but you better have a good reason.
