Custom Stainless Steel Exhaust

Postby 4uall » Mon Aug 03, 2015 5:03 pm

It was brought to my attention by Phaetan at FFO that smoke was coming out from underneath my passengers side :shock:

Sure enough, my exhaust had come to the end of its life :cry:

In speaking with the president of our local Alpha Romeo club ( weird, I know :wink: ) he referred me to an independent guy in my nieghbourhood 8)

Kept the original 4 into 1, then went straight to the muffler and now there is plenty of space for the brake cable.

The results are awesome :mrgreen:

It's always great to find an exhaust guy that knows what he is doing. I have a similar system but the rear muffler only was a bit too loud on long trips, so I took it back and added a resonator.

Jay, sounds awesome! Is it just the camera angle, or does your drivers seat have the " gangsta lean"....... Another welding project.......

Jay, love the stainless and you won't have to worry about that again for a long time.

FWIW, I'm with Csaba, its a little loud for me, I'd want a resonator.

Know what you mean about the emergency brake cable. I've been futzing with that since the day I got the car.

Enjoy.

Looks and sounds great. I should have contacted these guys to get an estimate before I did it myself. It was a PITA! My panrod was bend and this caused no end of fitting issues until I put it back to the way it was supposed to be. But I still have my CAT and I did buy the resonator to fit together with my ANSA exhaust. And the e-brake cable finally has some room, doesn't touch the exhaust and there no rattles.

The details are as follows:

pipe size is 1.75" but muffler is hand made by Sergiy Blazhko which he calls "Victory Performance Exhaust"

Thanks everyone, I'm really enjoying Fiona's new sound :wink: Going to keep it like this for now and see how I feel 8)

On to the next project :mrgreen:
