those are the pics of the exhaust before the 9'' was put in. its a custom true dual setup from the headers back into an xpipe going over the axles to the mufflers.
the bumper and drive side seat tear is the only things wrong with the car and i really didnt care about that. its going to be taken care of asap anyway so its moot. it also has other mods i didnt list like the lid, bellow, metal intake ducting under the lid, short stick, pro 5.0 shifter.

haha yeah the car came from st petersburg florida. i worked out this deal over the last two weeks and feel i got the better end of the bargain...especially since he delivered it :nod: the car runs awesome and feels really strong compared to a friends cammed lsx. the owner said it put down about 360 whp on the tune. after i register and insure it tomorrow (yikes and pay my insurance) im gonna be looking to break it out into some fbody meets in the summer for sure.

Looks good. I don't see any cats though. Do you plan on adding them to go through inspection or are you hoping they don't notice?
i think i might have a stock corner light, let me look around

That rust is the buck nasty 10 bolt (complete with pinion seal leak) before his 9" got put in.

that it is wildbilly that it is.
the body itself doesnt have a speck of rust on it. the control arms have a little bit of surface that im gonna wirebrush and rustoleum for now. they look miles better than my camaro did.
let me know if you have a corner lamp mike that would own. i also need a turn signal if you know anyone with one shoot them my way.
haha it does do nasty burnouts and only done two so far....im gonna save it for the track. all i need to do is take care of the collector leak and im good. i might be changing the oil pan gasket too....it seeps a little.
baddest434
03-16-2009, 04:42 PM
nice find bro. best luck with it!
im pretty sure i have both the corner and the turnsignal, i have to dig through some of my swap meet stuff. ill do it in the morning and let you know

I wanna hear that exhaust. Seems like a lot of effort and a lot of extra tubing to carry around, very tight fit.

pinion seal leaks are OK according to gm!
but yes i was referring to the control arms like nasty pointed out. its not terrible, just repairable.

If they are the stock lower control arms, don't bother and just replace them with aftermarket ones. Or at least box them out before you paint them. The bone stock ones are so bad you can deflect them by hand.

teh fronts! it honestly doesn't look that bad. but i would clean them up on a nice looking car, not mine though :lol:

Bah. screw the stock control arms. if i go further than just painting them out then i might as well put on aftermarket tubed ones like bill said.
i posted the exhaust video in the first post tim. if you missed it ill post it again ill post it back up. it has a collector leak from the header so im gonna stop in at an exhaust place tomorrow to have it welded instead of crappy clamped(cut the exhaust to do the rear).
i was gonna stop in at 5 guys this wednesday cause im off and lunch sounds good. stop by tim ill give you a lookeraround.

Congrats!!

Where's the leak at, the header collector's? I thought the QTP headers have an expanded collector and it looks like the pipes go inside the header collectors. That's a bad design. But don't get anything welded to the headers. If you ever need to drop the transmission then your exhaust gets in the way. Have a shop fab up the pipes to clamp onto the outside of the collectors. And don't bother with a 3 bolt flange collector, that's old school which means blown out gaskets and leaks forever! Don't bother asking how I know. :lol: If the weather looks good for Wed, maybe I'll bring the 70 over to 5 guys for lunch, I haven't been there since last year.
NastyEllEssWon
03-16-2009, 09:58 PM
well im just gonna have him weld it up for peace of mind. they dont charge me very much and i have exhaust work done often at a local shop. wont be no more than 50 bucks. if i have to sawzall it to take it down again i will, i just cant stand the sound of exhaust leaks. plus with the new clutch/rear/driveshaft/rear main seal i dont forsee myself taking the trans down any time soon. when i order my high flow cats from summit later this summer ill get some nice band clamps and collector pipes :mrgreen:
sweetbmxrider
03-16-2009, 10:04 PM
why not just do it right now and not have to fight it later?
NastyEllEssWon
03-16-2009, 10:39 PM
because i can drop 50 bucks to have it welded for now. enjoy it with the peace of mind knowing the exhaust wont leak. if i find myself in a position that i need to drop the exhaust ill order some high flow cats and do it then. right now i wanna enjoy it without any catular restrictions in my exhaust goddammit.:wink:
make sure you can get the d/s in and out with that exhaust
NastyEllEssWon
03-16-2009, 10:48 PM
like i said eventually im gonna have to hack it down and clamp it up. but i really dont have any mods planned for it right now. im happy with the power level and just wanna work out the cosmetic for now and enjoy it before i start hacking it apart.
i have all next winter for that :mrgreen:
i hear that, i just know you were talking about the arm with a loop
NastyEllEssWon
03-16-2009, 11:19 PM
i was underneath it today and it looks doable.

so you aren't planning mods, are you planning when you will break ****? just curious if you have the ability

huh??
NastyEllEssWon
03-17-2009, 03:11 PM
umm yeah i have the ability to mod a vehicle. ive been doing it for years. the exhaust is fully welded closed as of this morning. it sounds more streetable and has a nice throaty sound when gunning it.
the tunnel mounted torque arm is something i want to do after seeing my friend eric throw his driveshaft through his floor in his 79 z. the tunnel mounted torque arm has a loop on it and something i want to get before i hit the track....especially after seeing the same torque arm work to perfection on mikes car last month when he broke his driveshaft.
with the car having a six speed, built rear, custom driveshaft, 11'' rear wheels and full clutch/flywheel/master/slave/throwout mods the only left for me to do is run the car and save some money for a built motor. not gonna waste my time with a cam or head swap when itll run me a nice bit of cash to get there...then i have to worry about the stock motor.
im pretty content with the way the car sits at the moment. im pretty sure ill have about 8k saved up by next year....i already have close to 3k saved towards it now.

decided to take a few since the weather was decent. also didnt have a pic of the underbody with the 9'' installed. haha well its a fun car indeed. :-P
sweetbmxrider
03-17-2009, 04:21 PM

if he bends a fork or something he will be kicking his ass for welding the exhaust to then have to hack it apart. its just stupid IMO but apparently its done.
NastyEllEssWon
03-17-2009, 04:25 PM
i wanted a quick fix for cheap right now so i can drive the car and enjoy it for a few days or so before i start tossing money into it. the bumper is priority number 1 since the leak is fixed. i own a sawzall, have no problem sawzalling the exhaust one more time. it takes literally seconds. it cost me 40 bucks and a 15 dollar tip to get my exhaust welded this morning and was done in about 20 minutes. did it before work. i havent had a day off since i bought it and it wasnt legal that day. tomorrow is the first day ill be able to cruise around in it.
stupid. 50 bucks and 20 minutes and my car sounds lovely. ill take that kind of stupid all damn day long.
nasty, i was unable to find either light today, ill keep looking but i dont know where they could be
NastyEllEssWon
03-17-2009, 04:33 PM
nasty, i was unable to find either light today, ill keep looking but i dont know where they could be
dont break your back over them. if you cant find em dont worry. ill just find some cheapies on ls1tech or ebay. no biggie. im still trying to get the bumper shipped out to me then i can get the paint work i want done.
the car will be out at 5 guys tomorrow with saitins
haha if either of you guys finds more than one bumper let me know, seems all the hamilton t/a's have dead front bumpers :(

Not true.
Catalytic converters are a FEDERAL requirement. You can just get away with it in states that don't have emissions inspection.
FBODS4EVER
03-19-2009, 06:11 PM
NO inspections in fla. how will they know? only if a cop pulls you over ad looks under it. i lived there.i drove a camaro with LT's and thrush mufflers only. you can have a rail and just add headlights and turn signals and it would be legal. my brother is still down there. and his t/a dont have any. hasnt had any for years. im not arguing the fed facts. im just saying. no inspection in florida.8-)
