hey all,

finally after working on the Money Pit for almost a year it's finally legal to drive

I got the license and insurance last week and yesterday i took her down to the muffler shop to have the exhaust put on. they kept the pipes tucked up as far as they could and dumped it straight off the mufflers under the bed( no tailpipes

)

They used some mufflers called VForce. They told me they were a Flowmaster clone, built exactly the same.

If any of you Caddy guys weren wondering what these beasts sound like through a set of performance mufflers it sounds kinda like a BBC on Steroids

then again it could just be this type of mufflers, they may sound completely different with some other types of exhaust.

anyway heres a few pics i took of it...

Pull up next to any rice and let them hear what a real motor sounds like? Not the bumblebee sounding ones they have.

Did you use the Cadillac exhaust manifolds or the BB headers with the adaptors?

71MoneyPit · 04-22-2003, 09:36 PM

I tried to dumb pipes like that once, but the thing wouldn't run good. Had to run them on out the back.
