Heh, heh.. yep, she's coming along nicely. Thanks!
The PO had hacked off the mufflers with a sawz-all and left me with just the 4 head-pipes. The Chrome was pitted to the point I couldn't polish it up so I took them to work and sand-blasted them to give some texture. I plan on using black Bar-B-Q paint. I used rustoleums on the Suzuki build and it has held up well.
Then came searching for mufflers. Originally was going to go 4 into 4 because I didn't want the hassle of welding up "Y" pipes to tie each side together for a 4 into 2. But then I found these NOS Mac pieces for $40 "buy-it-now".
Literally NOS, never been installed! I like their style and I think I can line them up once the engine is in.
I may have to bend some 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 adapters to get the angle right but should look good on the black head-pipes.
