At Last !!
« on: May 01, 2011, 03:45:01 AM »
My love has come along  , OK that's enough with the song . After endless road trips, missed opportunities , or        "the I just sold it ", or my favorite ,after traveling to Pittsburgh PA from central NY, " Dude I Just cant part with this car", I kid you not..
 I'm very pleased to announce that I'm the proud owner of 85 wagon. I'm going to tomorrow to throw in a quick exhaust from the Cat back, it aint got no pipes or muffler, any idea of the size ID & OD  anybody got a suggestion for a muffler??, I'm thinkin' glasspack, cuz I love the neighbors.


Here's the link to some pics , check out the paperwork I found in the glove box, will post more @ a later date, thanks everybody,

The exhaust is 2.5".  I'm running straight pipes with no cat and a glasspack on my Concord and Eagle, it sounds pretty nice...And believe me isn't roaring loud that it would give you a headache.

Lol, I always was told it was 2.5"... Oh well, the extra .5" wouldn't hurt, right?

Some have gone to 2.5" with no ill effects, that I know of.  I don't know how much that would decrease back pressure, which you do need some of.  I eliminated one back pressure device and have not noticed any problems, I did retain a OE style muffler though.

Haha, that's downstate!  I always have to remember how large an area is considered "Central NY."   ;D
Hey, I'm not sure if you have seen the post about the potential north east meet.  If it comes to fruition maybe you can come with your new Eagle?
