I've got a 80 series flowmaster on my N* and thought it was a bit loud. I think I'm going to find some short muffler tips. |

Here are the pictures of my baby mufflers. On the outside of the car it is not too bad at idle and small throttle blips but I will not really know how bad it is until I get a chance to drive it around a little. I also have a set of C-6 Corvette resonator tips that I will put on if I they will fit under the rear bumper. I am afraid that there may not be quite enough room to add them.

Old rear head photo, looks pretty new...
New rear head photo, is new...
The cams are different between the engines but not so much that it is very obvious. I am curious about the specs on the S1 cams.

Tried to set the 99 L47 in the cradle tonight and found one of the bosses has been beefed up so I will need to redo the mount bracket before it will sit in the cradle correctly. Doohhh!!

A small price to pay for a newer block. GM increased the bolt size from 8mm to 10mm and increased the lower right mounting boss by extending it out from the block an extra 4mm or so. A little cutting and welding and all is ok with the world again.

I think it is about ready to reinstall. I went ahead and left the TBI on because I wanted to compare the old engine to this one and I would have to change some wiring around to switch to the stock manifold. I will keep the stock manifold standing by if I cannot get this setup working well enough. I added brackets to the cradle to setup the e-brake. The system will need an extension to go from the left to right side but it looks like that will be all it needs. I also installed the motorcycle exhaust springs to the articulating joints between the solid mounted exhaust and the mufflers. It looks like they may work ok. They do look a bit cheesy though. Good thing they will be mostly out of sight...
