Hello All,
Lots of things you find out during your first (gee, did I indicate there might be a second?) conversion. I went with mostly KEP components, and it puts my stock 88 converter and muffler more to the right side of the car than stock. I didn't realize that until now.
Time to by a shorter muffler, perhaps 22 inches?!?!? to use on my conversion. I'm keeping the stock cat converter and will likely by one of Tom's support brackets for my EJ22 with automatic conversion.
Should the end of the muffler align within an inch of the frame rail, where the slight arch is cut to accommodate? With the KEP mount I don't have an easy way to mount the heat shield, how have people worked around that? Perhaps time to bend the original sheet metal quite a bit....
Perhaps on this "2nd" conversion I'll go with a different mounting system.
