Hi everyone so its time for a new exhaust on my T-Bird its an 86 with the 3.8 engine and i want to go with duals my plans are custom bent at a shop and i wanted to use the long tubes mac does http://www.macperformance.com/store/category.cfm?SID=3&Category_ID=474 the part isTF3895 i was wondering if it will clear the c3 transmission and the steering column linkage what kind of challenge im up to also has anyone did this coolcats reports that if you have a column shifter the linkage gets in the way and must be moved. You'll also need to make a new EGR tube and find a fitting for the header's EGR nipple. is it very hard to move the shifter linkage? AND HOW THE NEW EGR TUBE NEEDS TO BE DONE:burnout:THANX EVERYONE
anyone? please
I heard some people have used heater hose fine for the smog pump tube. You do not need any crossover between pipes. I have never heard of anyone using long tubes with a v-6. I think it would clear the transmission fine. The shift linkage is where the problems are. Alot of people "dimple" the exhaust. I am not sure how well this works, or if it does at all on a v-6.
