Next, we made mounting bracket templates for our center muffler. The front bracket will bolt directly to the Fisch Racing Tech CD009 FD Transmission Crossmember.
We welded a bracket to the front of the SP Muffler and used another silicon exhaust hanger grommet.
At the rear of the center SP muffler, we had to make a long mounting bracket on the muffler side, and then used factory chassis crossmember bolts to mount the chassis side bracket.
Once welded, the center muffler was mounted and supported in the car.
Now that both mufflers were securely mounted, we started to fabricate the 3.5” exhaust with 304 stainless steel tubing from Vibrant Performance. We cut segments, positioned them, marked them, tacked them in place, test-fit them, and then finish welded them.

Billy, the exhaust looks fantastic. Every update gets us close to the full reveal of this monster!
Thank you! I’m a bit behind on articles so there will be more updates that will come out soon. The car is close to firing up!
I see you’re also a glutton for punishment wrenching on cars while laying on our backs, ha! Excited to see this up and running with all the extensive and detailed work on it.
