No one has that stock downtube. Tried Walker, Sacramento, NAPA ect and the Dealer's.
I want it to pass emission's so i can't use the 3" .
At this point I will take a used one and patch it.

Any suggestion's?

Wrong year. Outlet on opposite side of the driveshaft for a stock 85. Eric, we need to discuss making this a stocking item at our next board meeting!

Midas

I will check Midas next. If not I will look for an old used one and bring it to the Muffler Man to bend one up.

Oh yeah She is a Pro. She's using a Snap On light also. Not your Home Depot special. She never complains either.

She's got that shiney tan!
I think I know her! Did she used to dry cars at Mr Wash?
On a related note.....
Am I to understand that these 3" down pipes do not accept an O2 sensor? And is there such a thing as a better flowing cat?

Engine Setup

Bob,

In your first picture, you have all your brackets and pulleys painted. I know this is getting off the exhaust subject, but what color, brand,etc. of black paint did you use? I've found that the semi-gloss blacks are too flat, and the gloss blacks are too gloss. How did yours come out?

Bob,

I saw several 84/85 3" downpipes at Sacramento Mustang about a week ago.

HA! That second pic was funnier than the first one! I'm serious when I say, BOB YOU NEED TO BRING HER TO THE REUNION!!! If you have never seen the BizaroGator pics .. oh jeez, those were the only "G Rated" ones we could post!

BTW - I would suggest just having a local shop fab you an exhaust. a 3" Downpipe (aka 3" DP) will NOT affect emissions. It will, however, affect performance .. in a good way.

Paint

8T6 SVO

The paints I used were Color Palace, A semi flat black. It was a can I had been given from a truck driver that used to rent space from me I don't know where he got it. Rust-o-leum has a Semi Flat Black also but it is hard to find. One of the best Siler's I have found that I used building my Cobra Roadster engine is made by
Wurth and it is a Lacquer Spray Metallic Silver. That stuff is great.
One of the best paint out of a can short of say POR-15 is sold by Parts Associates 1-800-321-1128.
They have what is called Industrial Protective Coatings.
I used them on my old Triumph chopper motor casing's and they resist heat and chipping. Unlike regular can paint which has about 12 % solids/resins this coating has 36 %. It is great stuff and they will send you a catalog of colors. All kinds of colors.
If anyone has an old pipe I will buy it and have my own made up to the same configuration. I don't care if it is rusted out because I am only ising it as a template.
