Exhaust for my Coupe
lookin for some exhaust for my '90 Coupe. its a 363ci (SVOr block, TF twisted wedge 205 cc heads, etc...) and it currently has shorty headers, high flow catted h-pipe, and factory mufflers/tails.
its kinda got that sleeper sound to it. it would be real quiet if it wasnt for the cam...but i wanna add some long tubes, off road x-pipe, and a catback. not sure which headers i want...probably get a VRS x-pipe, and not sure on the catback??? probably get a flowmaster kit and add some Borla Pro Xs mufflers or somethin different if i dont like the flowmasters. really wanted the 3" kit that flowmaster sells since the tips look better from the rear. i would run the MAC catback but i have never had any luck with the fitment of the rear section of any of my kits or any that i have ever installed. Some people dont have that issue but its always that way for anything of mine for some reason. anyhow, just wanted to see what everyone thought about a setup for me? thanks |

My buddy that has a hatch w/ a 331 in it is running a full 3" setup. BBK 1-3/4 LTs w/ 3" to a Bassani X and Super 44s and Flowmaster tailpipes. He said the 3" tails give lots of tire clearance as well. Not sure on power yet as he's still putting the car back together. Said it sounds similar to my car, but deeper.

Sounds like an awesome car! Please get us some pics. I'm itching to see it!!!
If you still want custom 3" from mufflers back, it would be $70/hr plus the materials. We can get 3" SS for a pretty good deal. More expensive than a kit, yes...but we won't count "standing around and bullshitting" on the ticket. That part is free.

I got lucky and found a used 3" MAC cat-back locally. I'm not a fan of the MAC sound so I basically just used it for the tail-pipes because I like the way they have the joint above the axle... makes it easy to remove/install and gives a bit of adjustment at the back.
I then bought some 3" fow tubes, 3" Pro-XS mufflers, and a 3" VRS stainless X-pipe. Although my system isn't 100% stanless,it fits great, sounds awesome, and I got it done relatively cheap (no outside fabrication). Btw, I know what you mean about MAC fitment -- it sucks. I was able to fix all of that on my set-up since I was putting new mufflers in the cat-back.

Nice coupe! It's funny how a set of wheels and the right stance can make a car look so nice.
