I am pretty sure any Jonny Lunchbucket with any welding experiance can do this. I could do it, if it were summer. As I only do my welding in the Summer (for me it's a outdoor thing). But any and I stress "DECENT" muffler shop should be able to do a satisfactory job. If you can't find anyone you will have to wait till summer

My solution, simple notice how my exhaust tip sits a lil further out than most aftermarket exhaust? There is a reason why I did it this way!
...glass man, you are my Idol.

my flames seem to be doing the same thing. I switched with my buddy's 180sx for a 2 mile run, an saw flames like that coming out of my exhaust...

...needless to say I was VERY pleased

Well I think I have decided to go to my muffler guy and have him make me a 5" piece somehow to make my muffler stick out far away from the car, I dont care how bad it looks, it can look as bad as my baby does now, it makes me cry looking at my bumper. I need to post pics, when I get my digital camera back. I might have the worst bumper out there, anyone want to compete, show pics!!!!

leave some gap b/w the bumper and the exhaust. And use aluminum plate cover under it. That's what I do... no burning or anything so far... or my flame is not big enough>>
However, i hope that helps

SLIDE a longer pipe over the one you have and hold it on with weld,screws , pop rivit. clamp, what ever. polish it first or have it chromed or buy a chrome tube. How hard can this be for all you people that work on your own cars.

Chances are you are shooting flames. Ask one of your buddies to drive behind you on the freeway. Crank it up to 6-7000 rpm's and then let off the throttle.

PS - don't have them tailgate you. I love watching the look on people's faces in my rearview mirror when I pass them.

Hey, maybe there actually is a legitimate use for those bolt on ricer exhaust tips they sell at PepBoys...

I've seen a pic of an FD w/ a carbon fiber piece on the bumper just above the exhaust. I want this. My bumper is already black from smoke/etc.

I don't know if it does it when you just rev but I can get it to do it by launching hard on the street and the tires break loose and the revs go up and then I shift into 2nd

Also getting traction through 1st and shifting hard/fast into 2nd will do it

fun times

correct me if im wrong but are you all running the stock twins? i heard that with a dp mp and cb will produce flames when the stock waste gate is used because it cant handle the increased amount of gas. Im probably wrong but i would like to know.
