Why, why why an LS1 in an RX-7??? Not like the Hampster Trap that came in it?

Can't imagine that was an easy swap! Nice pics though!

Heck with the shots I'm moving next to Todd's shop so I can see them in person. But in the mean time keep the shots coming, I just make my friends drool with pics like these.

the '53 Chevy (a.k.a. "Grape Ape") is done and sounding REAL "Old School". The owner wanted to keep "period" with compression bends...but, opted for an X-Pipe rather than an H.

More pics in the Gallery...

Never been a Chevy man, but that car is sweet! On the 57 Ford, what is that glob of black on the master cylinder?

I assume your shop is a exhaust specialty shop....how does it work, the customer just leaves it there for a few days or do they bring it in, you measure and order the parts and then they bring it back for the day?

I wish you were in Arizona, but I can't imagine leaving my car for a few days anywhere...I am so paranoid. My Camaro's exhaust is simply SpinTech 3.5" mufflers off the collectors then immediately it goes into SpinTech downturn.. It is VERY loud which I really don't mind but I really wanted an X pipe and have it go all the way out the back and have to fat exhaust pipes about 4 or 5 inches apart turned down under my license plate. I had that car on the lift so many times but the rear cross member is so in the way of anything I could come up with. Also if I didn't go with the SpinTech oval 3.5" pipe and if I used conventional round 3.5" it would be seen if you looked at the profile of the car. (I hate when you look at a car and see the exhaust from any angle.

If I take some pictures of the under side of the car on a lift, could you program yourself to dream about a design that would work???
Thanks

We custom build everything on the vehicle...most work is done in 1 day.

Sorry, but we don't ship/build any "kits"...everything is done on car/truck on-site only....

Nope, I didn't want anything shipped. I wanted your advice on a way to route exhaust on my car.

Todd's place is a great to hang out, but if you want to live next door, bring your English-Spanish phrase book and buy a BIG dog to chain to your porch.

Just so y'all don't think it's ALL "fun & games with cooler than cool rides" around here....

When you do up to 5" Mandrel & have a 25,000lb lift...you get BIG stuff too...

Up today....
