Lil engine clean up
So I decided to remove Maggie's engine to fix a oil leak and replace those boots on the intake manifold, n thought while it's out I might as well give it some much needed love in the cosmetic department.

Re: Lil engine clean up
So I realize the 4 into 1 system is better but my one was all rusted n looked terrible. A friend of mine had a really nice set of trumpets hanging n his exhaust shop that I couldn't resist nice new shiny stainless steel,just the was it was made seemed different to the ones I have seen the pipe diameter seems slightly larger than the other 2 sets I have and the bends seem to flow nicely I did however cut the usual flared end bits off and replaced them with nice tail pipe tips. Bolted them on just to see how then looks and tacked the muffler tips on coz they are slanted at a angle, sent e buggy to his shot today to have the tips welded on properly and polished one final time, they should be finished with it tomorrow can't wait to hear it, and it Needs to stop raining here so I can take her for a spin

Nice! Painting the engine tin is on my to-do list.

Re: Lil engine clean up
Wow! It's like a facelift, but at the other end.
The end result is stunning, nice work.
