Here's a little update on the eBay header install. My wife got me an Addco rear sway bar for Christmas that I recently installed. However the brace in front of the spare tire that the endlink brackets bolted to was the same brace that my tailpipe hangers were welded to. So I cut off the tailpipes, and then decided "why not just redo the whole exhaust?" - most of this came from the fact that I do not like the sound of a 'dumped' exhaust, which I now had. But, since my mufflers had seen better days and I had bailing wire holding up most of the system, I hopped on eBay once again for some stuff to build a new 2.5" system. This is a small step up from the dual 2.25" system I had without a crossover. I love the sound of the Flowtech Terminators, so I will be using them again, just a new set.

So, I ordered (2) Flowtech Terminator 2.5" mufflers from The Driver's Seat ($61.95 ea, free shipping) and a 2.5" stamped X-over from Performance Curve ($30, free shipping). eBay total = $153.90. I usually order everything from Summit, but the same mufflers from them are $68 ea, plus $9.95 handling, and the cheapest 'narrow' x-pipe was the Flowtech one, and it was nearly $75. By going the eBay route I saved nearly $67.

I did use Summit for a couple of 4' sections of 2.5" pipe ($13.95 ea) and 3 Walker Stainless Steel band clamps ($8.95 ea), plus $9.95 handling. I wanted to be able to take the middle section of the exhaust loose, that's why I ordered the band clamps. I will be welding up everything else.

So far, I'm into this new system for a shade under $220, but I'll still have to hit up my boys at Arkansas Performance Exhaust (A.P.E.) to bend me up some 2.5" tails after I install the parts listed above.
