E21 Project Thread - Part 2

[retoropak]

I have maybe 0.5" of clearance each way between the driveshaft, floor and fuel tank connecting hose heat shield.

Ah so you did go above subframe. Good man!

I picked up more welding gas and SS wire. Hoping to get the exhaust fully welded up to just behind axle (minus the vbands I need to order to put before and after subframe). Then it's making up my mind with how to do the rear exit. Standard location? Duals? Center exhaust with splitter?

Finished up welding the exhaust from downpipe to just after rear subframe. Gotta order materials for the hangers tho.

I also did a thing...

Installing a single person hot tub?

[Bassboy3313]

I like your thinking!! But unfortunately no hot tub in the plans. Got the new pan cut and fitted tho.

Sweet! did you make that pan or was it something you bought and trimmed to fit?

nice progress!

[Bassboy3313]

I'm thinking a diffuser like this with twin tip center exhaust. Thoughts? Opinions?

Got my speedo goodies back in the mail today. Should be interesting when I get around to installing it.

Sorry, got busy last night with a few decal orders I needed to get out the door. Not much to show pics of honestly, but I'll still post something later tonight.

Interesting. I cant wait to see it installed and working! It looks fairly straight forward.

[Bassboy3313]

Got more exhaust work done. It's fully welded to right behind the diff as well as hangers created and welded in too. I ordered another flowmaster hp2 resonator, this time the shorty version to put out back. Should work a lot better for the center exhaust with diffuser look I'm going for. A matte black oval tip has also been ordered to finish it off.

Can't wait to hear this thing

[Bassboy3313]

Well exhaust is officially done minus one remaining hanger I need to create near the rear tip. Which I need to weld in the pan for the spare tire well before I can do that. I'll get pics then.

Yes. Videos of it running? Burnouts maybe? Or just some nice pictures for now will do.

[Bassboy3313]

It's tough to get pics of the black exhaust tip in the dim garage, but here's the best I could do. I have an idea brewing in my head and some parts coming in the mail on friday to go on either side of the tip too. Stay tuned!
