If it's anything like in Chicago the streets are white with salt from the first snow (any ammount even 1/4" will cause the salt trucks to come out) till a good rain in late March/early April. So will you now stop driving the XR7 in the winter? My car doesn't see the snow or salt it hiebernates for the winter.I do snow removal and the last couple of years we did salt a lot more for lack of snow "ice". Quote Selected

Reply #16 – October 18, 2008, 02:06:39 PM Quote from: dominator;239750Hey that looks familiar,my 88 was like that.My advice would be to grind the mounts right off the chassis and fab/weld up entirely new units.Thoses mounts where always weak and had way to many holes in them to allow for water and intrusion.By the way ron,you need new PIPE extensions man those things are terrible looking compaired to the rest of the exaust.LMAO yeah I plan to get some real polished stainless tips for it over winter, was strapped for cash at the time I did the duals and use cheap Chrome tips....That is the plan about the mounts too Chirs.. I will fab up something similar to the factory look, but a whole lot stronger....Quote from: thunderjet302;239772It's not the kind but the ammount.
