Type IV Thunderbird Exhaust Upgrade

[drober23]

I am using a Thunderbird exhaust with my 2.0L engine, and it disintegrated quickly.

I see this, http://carcraftstore.com/stainlesslatet ... haust.aspx

It looks intriguing. Has anyone used one of these? Are there other products that might compete against this? Also, I will want to have a bung for an O2 sensor, a setup that has this in place would be preferable.

FYI, I am running 72-74 heater boxes.

Hello DJ,

This is the route I ended up going. I contacted them first and made a few special requests.
1. I wanted the tailpipe to exit on the left, not right hand side.
2. I wanted an O2 bung on both ends, for 2 sensors at the same time.

They delivered it in a reasonable timeframe and with my requested modifications, without any additional cost.

They are such beautiful pieces of craftsmanship. Each is handmade, and my fit was MUCH better than the "best T1 bus muffler available" (BusDepot, circa 2013.) I thought it was too loud, but as Colin noted, my engine balance is the real reason I can't hear anymore. Head temps did not change from the stock peashooter. (Again, T1 here, but I'm pretty sure their quality is the same over their lineup.)

I will happily slap that thing on my custom engine build.

You can match up their type 4 CJ headers, directly to their muffler? Eliminate all the heater boxes, C pipes, etc? Is that what you did? Would like to see some pics of the install.

Colin? Custom engine build? Who hacked into your account?

Does not compute. Need details to verify.

Short 66mm stroke with 96 Nickies balanced for turbine smoothness, maybe a Microsquirt injection system.

I want smooth high speed balance!
