Already fired it up, mmmmmmmm, sounded good with just the extractors, but I don't think the neighbours will be speaking to me for a while

what sorry couldn't hear ya,, lol....

Pipes redirected today, general engine tidyup, odds and sods slowly sorted, getting there, outside still looks battered but the rest is starting to preform well.

That should sound allright as well.

mmmmmmm, dont know why it showed the same side twice.

Lost its gruntie idle sound now , but sounds good when you give it some stick.

That's a bugger with the idle sound, BUT if it sounds better at revs that should keep you happy.

i them pipe on my 1st van about 10 years ago. i lived in a caravan park at the time. the whole place was happy to see the end of me.

But you are a shit stirrer though Van.

QLD we're not allowed to dump before the axle... essentially must remain along the original system route. had my pipe brought to the side behind the axle justified because the exhaust fume issue.

lookin good groover.

not sure if its legal in NSW either, done a few of my Beddies like this and never had any issues, will play my chances , have a new exhaust system hanging in the garage but dont want to use it yet.

i remember getting pulled over by the RTA and noise tested for Db level. i got 92Db and the rule was to put the mic 3 metres from the rear of the vehicle and rev and hold at 3000 rpm. my pipes were out the sides so they didnt get a true reading. i think alot has changed but nice headers straight thru mufflers,1 bend and out the sides made alot of noise.

well some breaking news. the Menace has left me again, it filed for divorce today. so its in the panel shop again.

Nothing major i hope Daz?

Geez Daz, your not getting to enjoy it all that much these dayz

nothing to panic about just getting the flo coat done.

Getting some new big front seats put in, dare I say IT (FORD) ones very comfortable and wont end up with a sore backside.lol Other than that, she will be the same
