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 |

This was a 6 valance, and I had to move the hole slightly outboard and weld in a plate to cover the difference. I trimmed the Triad tips off about 3", installed the valance and outlined the locations for the holes from the backside of the valance. The exhaust is very well made, but it, or the car was slightly off on side to side height. So a slight shim on one trans mount, and a extra washer at the engine bar made it correct. I left about a 1/2 " clearance around the pipe after increasing the size to fit the A8 tips. The holes are not round since the valance is angled. Slightly oval cut.
The reason I cut a 6 valance was it had been cut before to fit a 4!. Hard to think the PO did that. |
