I would just replace the vertical link assembly. It isn't especially hard to do unless one of the through bolts is frozen into its bushing. The parts aren't hard to find. If you can't find one locall

That's what I figured. The smaller pipe probably provides more of a scavenging effect that a larger one would. I will go with 2". thanks, Dave My GT6 project car is almost ready to have an exhaust sy

I was hoping to use the GT6 nuts so I can still use the chrome GT6 center caps. Maybe the TR7 nuts will work. On the other hand, the TR6 nuts might also work since they had similar center caps. I wil
