A little help, please, if you will:
Found a way around the botched wiring on the 'new' 77B so that I had stop
lights, turn signals, etc., so I ventured out on the roads today. In a short
while the throaty rumble from the exhaust became a smelly roar from underneath.
The intermediate pipe, between the exhaust pipe and the muffler, is virtually
broken in two. Please recall that a PO has retrofitted the car with a pair of
HS4's with no smog stuff in sight. It also appears that the brake system has
been retrofitted to a single line system without booster. Back to the exhaust:
the header does not have two outlets, rather it's a single pipe. Again, my goal
is to turn the B into a very reliable commuting machine. The entire exhaust
system is probably ready to go belly up. What you folks suggest that I consider
for a replacement? My druthers would be for something in stainless, but I don't
want to give up the HS4's. What's the wisdom's thoughts about the Peco system?
I'd like to get this done very quickly since I'm now ready to go for a Mass. RMV
inspection sticker. Fortunately, in Massachusetts it is not necessary for
vehicles more than fifteen years old to have to pass emissions tests. TIA.
