ok...thanx Jimlab....i contacted Vosko...and heres a pic from a lower angle......

Bluem

that the angle i was looking for thanx ,it looks simply amazing

do u have any pics of when you were fabing the muffler

and dimensions and specs on materials and stuff

BoostCrzy

its made of stainless steel....the piping is 3in. mandrel bent(same as pettit CB) and the muffler is a pettit 3in. canister....the tip is a 45 cut from a 90 degree 3.5in elbow....the cut was made at a slight angle though to raise the attitude of the tip slightly.....hard to explain...but it made the tip sit just right.....

BoostCrzy

heres a shot of the CB before the tip....this was after removing the tip that came with it from Pettit.....

Bluem

oh ok

jimlab

So did you buy a Pettit cat-back and put a new tip on it, or did you fabricate the rest of the piping as well and just buy a canister from Pettit?

Any reason why you didn't use the outside rear hanger? Just curious.

BoostCrzy

i did use the outside rear hanger.....and yes..it is a pettit cat back....i redid the tip....heres what the tip looks like from pettit....im not sure where pettit gets their piping bent, but it is from pettit.....i actually traded my N1 to my buddy for it.....so im not positive on its history beyond the fact that it was a pettit CB......was...lol.....

Bluem

any way it looks awsome

jimlab

In your picture below, there's no hanger on the canister to the right of the tip. There are two hangers at the back of the car, one on the inside and one on the outside. That's why I asked why you didn't use the outside rear hanger.



Thanks for clarifying. Pettit used to sell the Racing Beat cat-backs so it's possible that it's an older RB single tip.

BoostCrzy

both hangers at the rear are still in use....the pettit canister just moves the attachment point further back.....has a big nasty bracket that protrudes from the can....but the stock hangers are still in use.....

Bluem

would i be able to do the same with the current pettit racing 4" tip cat-back?

jimlab

OK, I think I see what you're talking about in the picture. There's a horizontal tab showing at the top and around the middle of the muffler?

You are REALLY itching to see how the thing holds up, aren't ya?

BoostCrzy

yea Jimlab.....you can see it....

King fish: i dont see why you couldnt use the latest 4in. CB offering from pettit.....if you need any help....let me know....i have a few more of the elbows at my shop that i could trim up.....

Flybye: thanx for pointing out one of the brackets.....theres another on the opposite side in relatively the same position.....

jimlab

No, I was trying to figure out what kind of exhaust it was from the configuration of the hangers. It's not an RB single tip, that's for sure.

You guys are STILL talking about this?!

jimlab

Why not? What else is there to talk about?

BoostCrzy

open for business...lol

BoostCrzy

UPDATE!!!!.....just wanted to let you all know that this exhaust has been holding up absolutely perfectly.......the sound and fit have really made this setup......2 1/2 years and counting

wow, good job. for a second when i first saw the pic i thought it was RE-A's dolphin tail, but the color gave it away.
have u thought about polishing it??? so some people won't relate it to bus and stock european mufflers.
not my first choice of muffler style, but i like it. its uber clean =)

BoostCrzy

ive thought of getting it coated or changing the finish.....but i keep revolving back to the black finish...it just looks right to me....lol...

I ran this exhaust for a while before I went to a titanium one (yours actually inspired me ). It was a old school 3" pettit racing exhaust with the monsterous 5" tip which I had cut off and had a dolphin style tip welded on using the pie method of welding.

If anyone wants it Ill let it go for $200

BoostCrzy

I'll take a short one when i get a chance.......but i dont think it will do it any justice on camera...
