Default Tony's Magnaflow Exhuast Install

On sunday me, FOG, and tony32p worked on his new exhuast before the Mohegan Sun meet that i had pictures of in the other thread. Here are some of the install. It had to be the strangest install of an exhaust i'd seen. It used all clamps instead of flanges.

when we ever get around to finishing up the new garage we have to work in. That work was done in FOG's garage. I dont remmeber how much he said it costs, but it isnt cheap. I think they are around $1200.

nah, no welding, just cutting a pipe and then the new pipe is widened a bit on the end to fit alittle over the new pipe, then you use a clamp over the two for a seal

i believe they are called scissor lifts. Different places call them different things. But just search around online. Maybe for a place near you that sells them

Here is just one place i found quick

I got that one from my Local NAPA store. I paid $2,300.00 2 years ago for it. It is a high quality ( IMO ) one. We have used it alot over the last 2 years. You can get them cheaper, but I'm form the "you get what you pay for" school of thought. If you get one off the internet, be sure you check shipping costs. It is very heavy. It has served us very well and it is perfect for a standard size garage. It is also portable. We do alot of oil changes/tire rotations, suspension mods, exhaust systems etc. But we have done major engine builds and stuff too. I try to make it available to help out the locals too. Like Tony's exhaust. Maybe doing Emonz's turbo upgrade too?????
Its alot of fun. The garage is pretty well supplied with tools and equipment and I enjoyed working with you guys doing the exhaust. We'll keep posting the pics of the next project !!!!!! Guess I just volunteered you John, you know my computer skills LOLOL
