exhaust leak...

As of today, the car's exhaust became quite noisy...Perhaps it's time for duals.

Duals are good though! Hey have you installed aftermarket door speakers under thos speaker covers on the front doors?

Nope, still have the stock speakers and tape deck I have a decent tape collection too!

beautiful car man

I still have the tape deck in my 90 LTD too I got one of those oldschool tapes that has a 1/8" cable you can plug a discman or mp3 player into. Works pretty good...my tape collection kinda sucks so I'm pretty happy about that.


How much do you figure it would cost you for a set of duals? I want to do the same mod but don't know what I should expect to pay..you live fairly nearby so I'd imagine the prices would be pretty close.

What parts do you want? That has a huge effect on how much you spend.

Generally speaking, I'd expect these price ranges in US dollars:

Headers: $20 - $300
Crossover pipe: $75 - $350
Intermediate pipes: $36
Mufflers: $30 - $400
Tailpipes: $80


Typical setup with all new parts might see $150 for headers, $150 for crossover pipe, and $100 for mufflers. Figure $10 handling from Summit Racing, plus a few odds and ends, and it comes to around $550 for parts.

First off you do not need headers. If your manifold are good as well as all of your cats just bring it to a shop and have then fab up the rest. You will pay close to 2 grand (at least my pops did 6 years ago) for that same set up but there is not one thing wrong with it.

Piecing these things together is crap imho. All that stuff is low quality thin metal.

service up-date

The exhaust was repaired about 2 weeks ago, I just forgot to up-date.

After my Sunday drive

Parked and waiting for the down-pour to end...

Looks like it was really coming down out there!

I always go on Sunday drives in my box as well.

I drove out to the cottage to visit with my relatives. The rain started on the drive back, when I was about 20 mins from home.

I am jealous as hell of your car. If I had a car in that good of shape i couldnt wait to tear it apart and throw some upgrades on there, however with a car like mine every time i think about upgrading something i run into a million and one problems that i need to fix first.

I'll never have to worry about removing a vynal roof.....Thank God! The car is going to remain stock for now. Next items on the repair list: new brakes and rotors for the front. The annual inspection is due in July.

bird crap is gone!

After a good cleaning...
