Jeff & I have been fabbing up new exhaust for his camaro the last couple nights. I made a flange die out of some aluminum and stamped the donut flanges on the press. Finished welding up the Y-pipe tonight. Now we have to cut the end back a little and make a collector type deal from the 2-2.5'' pipes to a 3'' to dump into the cut out (cat delete NOT WC) and 3'' Flowmaster exhaust. Jeff bought an aftermarket o2 sensor that's spoz' to be more accurate than the stock unit (he's had trouble with those) it's got a dash gauge to monitor the exhaust I guess & I think it checks heart rate & blood pressure too. lol.
He put frame connectors in just in case he makes some power someday. : :D

As always, a top-notch job done extremely well...thought I'd ask about the engine in Jeff's Camaro...what's he running under the hood? To my eye, it's a beautiful hot rod. I flipped the first time I laid eyes on it. It sits right, it looks right, it's just great. Thanks, WC1

PS: Oh yeah...the Z ain't too hard on the eyes, either... :wink:
