the portion after the plate/spacer is the entire side pipe...GottaBoss said:Steve,
Why would you replace the entire side pipe instead of just the portion behind the restrictor plate/spacer? Doing only the last section retains the option to use restrictor plates or electric (QTP or other) dump valves which is a big plus IMO.
Also, will your pipe retain access to the rear jacking point?

no harm just thought you might have known something I didnt. you can disconnect it after the flex pipe but that one is a PITA to get lined back up.GottaBoss said:Well heck, I should have known that - I installed my own cutouts. Sheesh! Sorry. :-[
Okay, I'm interested subject to getting more details and availability of funds.
Steve said:Thanks for clearing that up and for the pictures. Gottaboss had me confused with that question. We are talking about the same thing. I'm talking about the whole pipe after the restricter plates yes. Just like the pictures above show. The thing is the factory side pipes are small and hidden. Mine are bigger and can be clearly seen. Once you open the side pipes up and make them bigger you also get bigger sound. Does that make sense? No tune needed. Probably a few extra horses. Cheaper than a whole new exhaust system. Easy install. Looks great. What else can I say?

Steve said:Ground clearance hasn't been an issue at all for me and I have speed bumps on the raid in front of my house. It is lower than stock of course but I would have to measure them to see how much exactly. Anyway it's never been an issue with stock springs.not sure about the lowering springs.
Steve said:Wow lots of questions. Lots of interest. Sounds like I need to get busy. I will answer all your questions and yes I will make video. As I said I have about 8 or 10 videos on my you tube page of what I'm running now. Ill try and find a direct link for everyone. Just remember that I haven't actually made the fist set yet. All I have are the set I modified to work that I'm running now. The new ones will be made better but the sound and look of them will be very similar if not exactly like what I have now. When I say look similar I mean the part you can see sticking out beside the car. I hope that makes sense. Someone ask about ground clearance. As I said I've had no issues with that but I'm at stock height. Speed bumps are no problem. I just did a measurement of what I have now and it's about 2 and a half inches lower than the hidden stock pipes. They are 4 inches off the road. If I can lessen that any on the new ones I will but you have to remember in order to for them to be seen its they will have to be like that. The opening itself is about 2 inches wide and about 6 inches long. I love the look. All the rest of the pipe is 3 inch. If I made smaller it would change the sound and look and I don't think anyone wants that.
Steve said:I'm no expert on you tube. I think the easiest way to find my videos is to do a search on you tube with the words "Steve ford boss 302". Look for the videos with the red and white boss. They are very amateur and made with the windows down so you can kinda get the idea. I will make better videos for the new pipes. Crank up the volume.
