Has anyone installed a Triad exhaust and modified their rear valance (two holes)?
I thought I saw a picture on here not too long ago? Right now I don't have the rear valance on...but I would like to (and not hack it up). Anyone have any advise/experience/suggestions/pictures ????? Thanks, Tim |

Lavanaut: Wow; Awesome !! I have the same car (74 2.0 but Phoenix Red) and that's the look I'm going for. Where did you get the chrome tips? Do you have the template/drawing for the valance cut outs? Thanks. Actually, finding the chrome tips was the challenging part. Everything was either too long or had to be welded on. I wanted something bolt-on (or more precisely, bolt-off) in case I decided later I didn't like them. I don't remember where I got them, but the brand is Gibson. They weren't exactly cheap either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I don't have the template any more, sorry. As you can see from the second set of pics up there, all I did was trace the existing notch on the driver's side, then flipped it and traced it on the passenger's side. You just need to be sure you space it exactly the same distance from the center of the valence as the driver's side notch. Mine was right on the first try. Sanded it, painted it, voila. The nice thing about my project was that the valence was dented on the passenger side when I bought the car, and this was a convenient "fix"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) As for whether or not this is the "best" setup, I doubt it. But pair it with some SSIs and you've got a pretty nice system. I think Chris @ Tangerine Racing is offering headers with heat now, that'd probably be "better" in terms of any gains you'd see. I will say though, after puttting the Triad on I absolutely felt a difference in how the car drove. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
