Do yourself a favor, buy a 3" downpipe & exhaust system, a decent straight through ler, and just dump it in front of the axle.

The best thing you're gonna be able to fit on it there is a glasspack which will really do very little silencing at all.

Yeah, all except for the dump in front of the axle. Get a tail pipe or two

The '84 TC I had for about 6 months had a bit less exhaust than that and it wasn't too loud. Just sounded like a 4-banger with no ler and a little bit of "whoosh". Ahhh, cripes, I miss the TARBO POWAR!

Well, I suggested a dump because that would be a quick & dirty fix and would at least get the car tolerable.

Yeah, I know what you're saying. I ran my TC with no lers the whole time I owned it, well one ler actually. I just wont do that anymore and only suggest people do the same coming from someone who's had it both ways on multiple cars. I will only run full exhaust anymore.

It's just too darn loud. I think I'm going to damage my ear drums If I'm not careful. I swear, how in the hell do those Rice-Burner guys do it!?

And I can't get anyone to weld the ler in for less than $50. Which would put the hurt on me financially speaking. I could invest in a CD player would sort of distract me from the noise a bit. But the cheapest one of those is also $50.

looks good man grab an exhaust from Stinger and slap it on but avoid the flowmasters if your wanting it to be somewhat quiet

cheapest way is to go get 2'' emt electrical conduit (comes in 10' lengths) and shove it in the pipe you have (adapt it) and fit a cheapy ler in there even it its a used ler for free. If you see any electrical contractors or happen to ask the store if there are s cutoffs of conduit, you might get that for free as well.

you can bend the conduit by creative means, but emt is much more durable than its lesser quality sister aftemarket exhaust pipe.

Ever see emt conduit rust all that bad? i havent and ive see it exposed to much industrial heat.

it has to be EMT,,,not "rigid", not "IMC", not anything else but emt or you wont be able to bend it without paying someone.

another thought is check with your parts store for a section of exhaust that is corigated. Pep boys carried this product a long time ago. Its shaped like the part of a straw that bends at the end. Its not that wrapped spiral flex exhaust that most people are use to seeing. its shaped exactly like the design of a straw you bend,,corrigated. I think that stuff was priced pretty decent and did not require specail tools other than brute force and a dead blow to shape in.

even cheaper would be,,,,,,,, save your next can of pork and beans container.,,,adapt the open end to the exhaust you have, pop a couple slots in the other end and vuala,, ler!!!!!!!!!

i cant believe i just suggested that,,lol

hey,, you asked for cheap and easy, im from west virginia and we know how to get by.

see ,,, your just not thinking very well right now. I find it very ironic your solution to the exhaust pipe is just a few inches away from the problem......................

Dont waste your money on buying cheap stuff IMHO. If you are honestly going to keep the car for any length of time, invest in a decent exhaust system. Get a stinger single 3" downpipe to tailpipe (stinger is not expensive, but gives your money worth with your products. You cant go wrong). Dynomax hiflow cats are in summit/jegs for like $50, and a bullet ler is like $35. It is well worth the money. Endure it till you have the money to do it right. And on a side note, your hearing will be fine. Mine on my 88 goes to about the pass side mirror on the door (3" IHI SS downpipe), and I hear just fine. I have tailpipes and all for it, it will go on next spring. I just ran it like that until i had all the pieces i wanted to build it with. I have a little over $500 in mine, but could have gone allot cheaper with it had I not INSISTED on going with everything being done in stainless steel. You will also be a little cheaper if you do a single instead of the y-pipe with dual tailpipes if money is an issue... If you honestly need to quiet it down until you get the suggest system, auto parts stores sell cheap cherrybomb or glasspack lers for under $30. Get some cheap clamps and adapters to put it on. You would easily have a ler and clamps for under $40 to hold you until you do it right. The said lers will really quiet it down allot! I know, I ran them on the 83 until I did the current exhaust system.
Looks pretty nice otherwise. Looks just like my 88TC that I bought. I had it painted, and put new (about a year old) headlights in it, and it is a sweet looking ride if I do say so myself. Get some more pics :headbang:

Head to the parts store. I know you can get a ler for that thing cheap. Hell here you can get a turbo ler and an adapter for $20 then get a clamp an you are set.

I ran my car with dumps on my hooker maxflows for awhile and it wasn't very loud, sounded decent too.

I personally would not recommend a bullet with a dump especially if you delete the cat. I went that route, never again. Sounded like total ass and way too loud.
