Difference between this old school unit and new.
Old school uses bearing center.
New style used brass as bearing. Not as smooth for sure after years of use.

Finally finished s few loose ends......

Inside of glove box
Wrapped headers to help heat transfer

Jeff, what diameter pipes are you using, and what size is the muffler? ....and how loud/quiet is the exhaust?

Cheers,
Glen

Jeff,

Are those 2" pipes? Hard to tell in the photo. I am running 2 1/2" on mine with a Dynoflow, straight through muffler, and mine has a nice little rumble to it. Interested in hearing what o\you are running.

Nice glovebox.

Jim

1985 CCX 08-11-2017 07:00 AM

Yup itty bitty 2", original style Belanger type headers using original type mufflers.

I went for originality versus extra 5 ponies on larger pipes...

I can say in the car less noise than my old CCX, however everyone has said that under acceleration its the loudest car they have heard.

Webers and their flow are a contributor to sonic boom
