Vette(s): had a really nice one. sold it to a good friend. Purchased 2004 custom coupe in Feb. 2009 did not tell anyone here until August 2009. BAD I KNOW.
First of all thank you to all that entered thier advance, thoughts, comment, and just plain B.S. All was needed.
I was hooked on the under the chassis chambered system from mid america the first time I seen it, Always wanted side pipes on a corvette, this is the next best thing I figure..
I am going to install them myself, or atleast really try to. Figure if the muffler shop could do it in two or more hours then I should be able to do it in a week-end(LOL). That should give all you motor heads an good idea of my skill level. System should show up on Friday or Monday. Any tricks or things I should watch out for feel free to post. I have some books and I have an assembly manual, just don't understand them, but the pics are nice. Pray for me, oh crap prasy for the vette!!!!!!!!! Keep you posted on my progress. One small step for Vette heads , a gaint step for Larry. Should go okay the pink wrabbit is out criusing with sswalwes.................. |devil| |toungecool| |idea| |wavey| |biggrin| |cheers|

Just make sure you don't break the bolts when removing them. You may need some heat.

I just finished installing the MMA chambered exhaust system on my 72 BB. It went fairly easy, I had the car up about 2 1/2 feet off the floor on jack stands. A little heat on the pipe to exhaust manifold nuts helped. I applied copious amount of " Never-Seize" and replaced them with stainless nuts. I used a Sawzall to dice up the pipe to muffler connections. The installation was real staright forward. The fit worked well. Only time consuming part was attempting to center the tips in the exhaust exit ports in rear panel.

You'll do well.

Have fun, that's what it's all about!!
