"CRUSHER" EXHAUST SYSTEM |
Borla did not offer a conventional collector, so instead of using a conventional set, it was decided to try the collector mufflers even though they are rather large for this application. Though ground clearance was not a serious problem, it was not optimal and in hindsight, conventional collectors would have been a better choice. The collectors were mounted to the transmission crossmember using welded brackets and 5 inch long 3/8" bolts. |
Borla's 304 Stainless 3 inch tubing was used for the secondary exhaust plumbing. |
Borla's XR-1 Mufflers with a straight-thru design were used as a secondary quieting agent. The mufflers were positioned as high and as far backward as possible. Bolt-thru tabs were used on both ends of the mufflers for ease of assembly/disassembly. |
Tail pipes were routed over the rear axle housing as high as possible for maximum clearance. |
Passenger side received insulation wrap to protect the fuel line from excess heat. A flange was made for attaching to the upper surface on both sides. |
The tail exit was attached to the bent flange on the factory fuel tank. The tip was kept short and hidden from view at the rear. |
The finished system was completed with modularity and ease of installment and removal in mind. The sound is unique and powerful. |
