Forgot to include this shot taken after the car was brought back down. It illustrates the amount I set the muffler inside the tip - 3/4 inch. I'm going to spray the end of the muffler with some black thermal to blend it in. But still, the port is so low, you'd have to be a squirrel to see it unless you really stepped back far enough.

sound clip?I wish. Engine needs to be tuned first. Right now it's running way too rich and I also need vacuum lines added to hold idle.Originally posted by crf1877 View PostWhat he said...

Merry Exhaustmas To The Spider Cont.
I re-secured the Spider's two belly pan panels today after spraying down the muffler and lead tubing with black thermal paint, as this was the only area the shop could not get to, due to the diffuser being in place. Mind the residue on the gas tank to the left. It'll get a fresh section of heat shielding Damplifier Pro prior to tuning.

Shooting any other part of the exhaust is basically pointless as I'm not able to get the car high enough for anything decent.
Now to complete to look out back, here's the blacked out muffler sitting inside the tip. Welcome to hell.

The overall exhaust routing does not have any real bends slowing down the air. And with built heads, huge cams, 100 cell cats and that short scavenging muffler, she's gonna make one hell of a noise. Even from the side, it's still ominous.
