I talked to Dave over at Triad West Performance the other day and my new muffler will be on its way for West coast to East coast So I thought I would take a few minutes to prepare for its arrival

Here is the old Monza begging to be removed. Note the valence has been pushed up and rolled to make clearance for the 4 tips

pics of the valance

removed the Monza and made template for right side

With the list of power tools available to cut the space for the right tail pipe, plain old tin snips worked the best. I cut 1/2 inch from the line to leave room for the rolled lip. I rolled the edge with pliers and hammered it smooth. No grinding or filing needed

some more

ready for Dave's shipment.

I may find the time to sand and paint the rear valence but for now.....

i didn't know dave was now making exhausts for the 75-76 heat exchangers.

k

Yes, else I got a little more work to do before it gets here

here are a few pics of the new triad muffler from Dave @ triadwest performance. Everything was packaged well and professionally and made the trip from coast to coast without issue ( evan a day early) Thanks for the extra effort Dave. Intallation only took 30 to 45 min. I triad (pun intended)to stretch the fun longer but it was a simple bolt on...

here is another pic and some links to video on youtube.

Looks good, great job on the valance!

Thanks for posting those videos. I recently installed OEM mufflers which are fine and quiet, but I now wished I would have gotten a Triad, because of your videos. Your car sounds great!

The 2nd and 3rd vids are how I remember my car sounding...good stuff.
