Well I think a fox looks naked without tailpipes, so it's not really my preference to run without them. But a 4" DP will be difficult to plumb, as well as expensive. a 90° elbow is $30! Imagine all the turns. It'd be $500 just to get to the catback I bet, then another $400 for the Magnaflow CB. Maybe someday I'll do it, but for now, fenders for me.
You may choose JB weld as a better solution. The intake will get hot, and fiberglass might not like that.
Maybe you could split the 4" DP into two 2.5/3" exhaust pipes then?
That's something I didn't think of, might try that. I also just googled 'plastic welder' and harbor freight has one for $50. May give that a try too, had great reviews.
It looks good, but I have a plan. If it doesn't work, those intakes are everywhere.
Yeah people about give them Away. Btw, I bought a lokar ls1 cable for my car and I'm almost sure it isn't going to work for me. It's the same length as the ford cable (4.6) so I doubt I'll use it. If you've already got a 36" ford cable you may be in good shape already and save yourself $60
Somewhere in the depths of my memory, I vaguely recollect reading that a 5.0 cable is a direct fit.
Well, it's too late to tell you that if you're gonna do that, you have to weld it and cut it all in one fell swoop. (Cut a piece, then weld what you cut)Well, I've opened up a small can of worms.
Ya know that lip metal that sticks out from and transverses the entire firewall? The one you always catch your hand on and cuss? That's a body seam, and I decided after a couple of barley pops last night it needed to go. So without completely thinking it through, I cut it off flush with the fire wall. Oops. Turns out that's an intersection of 3 separate pieces of metal, all spot welded together.
So I sat there pondering what to do. I tried welding it back together, but I can't reach everywhere I need to, plus the metal was ground too thin *cough cough oops again*. My next hair brained idea is to go to Home Depot and buy some 1" thin wall tubing, cut it in half long ways and weld it over the seam, heating and bending it as I go to match the contour.
If I can do it correctly, I think it'll look sharp and you'd never notice I did anything. Or it'll be another "I think I'm going to hack the front end of my car off" idea. We shall see...
On a lighter note, the guy that sold me the intercooler is selling me a BOV for $40, and he's going to TIG weld the flange to an aluminum 90° elbow and ship it all to me. Is that a cool guy or what?!?
