Ralphie - I'm all ears, let's talk tomorrow

They said that since the pipes are stainless the resulting welds would look like ass. Also, he felt that Jet-Coat (etc) would not do well on the high heat application and eventually would look like ass too.

So, yes, we could cut the pipes and insert new baffles, but cosmetically the results would never look as nice as what I have today.

I suppose it's not a big deal, I just hate knowing that the collectors dump in to a brick wall - only to squeeze through two one-inch pipes.

Backdraft is on perpetual back order for the glass pack pipes used on the newer cars.

Vintage may develop a new approach, will have to wait and see.
