Help w/ SS Race Mufflers Install
Hey guys, so I bought SS Race mufflers (mufflers-only) and was planning on installing over the weekend. However, after having taken a closer gander, I'm worried that I might actually need the x-pipe in order to install these
Cuz the stock setup uses flanges, and the SS mufflers don't have any. I'm assuming they use clamps? Well, the seller didn't provide me clamps, so I don't know what to do to secure the piping together into section 2(?). The end of section 2 also has a little lip to it, where air might leak out? Sigh...should've gotten the x-pipe Can anyone chime in on this? Last edited by mfanatic325; 09-18-2010 at 12:11 AM.. |

What the...really? hmm...well perhaps the ones I bought were from a "full kit", where SS sent the mufflers AND the x-pipe together, in which case the mufflers are supposed to slide/sleeve over the x-pipe (section 2 portion), and then clamps are used to tighten them?
edit: did you keep the stock section2? Or did you get the x-pipe as well? Last edited by mfanatic325; 09-18-2010 at 01:23 AM.. |

Well what I offered you will solve that. only thing is I need other 2 or 3 weeks for that, and I will send you pictures.
FYI: Section 1 = S pipe or middle section Section 2 = X-pipe |

Ah cool yeah, I'll wait for those pix. Yeah, I thought that was the case. Good thing I got the sections correct in my head to begin with
Right now, I'm just having a mis-match issue in terms of trying to fit the SS Race mufflers' "sleeve" style to the OEM section2's "flange" style. Mainly because I can't re-use the flanges from the OEM mufflers, and also the fact that OEM section2 has a flared lip (like a trumpet), whereas the SS Race's sleeve doesn't have such a lip. |
