You have to seal it with something, I por15'd my floor, and its silver, Id like to cover it with something eventually. I'm on the fence about either the Speed Inc lightweight carpet, or just a factory style replacement.

I spent a little time the last 2 days installing the Ozite carpet. Pretty big pain in the ass. Its easy to stretch and mold with heat, but holes would develop very easy. For the install it will look like 1 piece mostly, but it actually went in in a couple pieces. I tried to go 1 piece, but i just dont have that patience. Its 1 piece from t top well to what used to be rear seat footwell. 1 piece for the tunnel. 1 piece under each seat(between those 2 rails the have the studs for the seats) and 1 piece on both sides from the front seat bolt stud rail to up under the dash.

It doesnt look bad, and you cant tell were its over lapped for the tunnel and what not bc its under the center console.
That is sort of how mine is as well, and once you need a bar, it will all come out again. Or you can let kirk weld and light it on fire.

Rad is here.


Currently debate im having is what to do with exhaust. Since theres no turbo yet, hood stack is out for now.

Do i just run my Y pipe to a bullet and dump it under the car and pretend im a fox body?

Do i run a normal cat back set up like an adult?

Do i open the can of worms even more and run true duels ?

I actually emailed them.

That looks like a nice piece but may not be for me. I asked if anyone has run with a Chassis Mount tq arm(2 people in tech thread have, but custom built units) and if anyone has with 3 point SFCs. No one in thread said so. Could be in there, i really only skimmed for pics. Not willing to have to switch my SFCs and have a custom tq arm X member made just to run a certain exhaust.

Seems like the main issue with that kid is clearance, which is going to be a issue for me Bc of Dem Coilover Dat Stance.

Ran 3" Y dumped before the rear... loud... cool if your in your own town and know the cops... not so good out of town.
Ran the same 3" Y into over the axle 3"in 3"out flow master muffler so I can attend ratchet fridays and race on muffled nights... sounds like a can of nails dragging behind you.
Removed the muffler so now it's 3" from the Y back, yet over the axle. That's what you heard at Racewars.

Have links to all 3 if your interested

Y dumped no muffler, just a 3" turn down tip.
Or you can go turbo headers and dump it out in front of the front tires in the bumper cover

Car isnt fast enough for fender exits

Im leaning towards something like this for now, then likely ditch the dump and run some 3" to the back with tips like a human being after i get annoyed of the smell in the car from the dump

Extra weight, more welding, extra money with that bullet.... you really think that's gonna change the sound?? Just run a piece of 3" with a turn down and call it a day. I have 3 extra turn downs if you want one. Flow master sent me double order.

I have to find a balance

I dont wanna run LTs, Catless Y to a dump bc i dont want dumb loud, not bc the cops or anything. I just want it to be some what enjoyable to drive more than 10 minutes lol

I wouldnt mind running a OG SLP LM exhaust, but as you said Full exhaust = full lbs. Also, ton less work to just run a bullet to a dump.

I think I have a lm1 that's chopped up a bit but you could definitely do something silly with. Also a used and abused hooker if you are into that.
