naviathan Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Must be nice. I never got to see the cities in Kuwait. We drove by a few going between camps after 9/11. I think one city we passed a lot was Jahra. Not absolutely sure that's the correct spelling. It was about 30 miles outside of Ali Al Salim Air Base. That was several years back so things are a bit fuzzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY77Z Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 jahra is the right spelling but its not the best city to see in kuwait, actualy its one of the worst you should have gone to the bay area in kuwait or what we call it ''the gulf street'' where you could find all the malls, restaurants, cafes and all the chicks too ...

LMoore56 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Now that sounds sweet Ali. It also looks good in there, alot better than the straight six. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY77Z Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 well a 500Z needs special valve covers, i polished the stock ones and got this sticker specially made for me, i think they look great, what do you guys think ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY77Z Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 hi guys, exhaust is done and sounds really really good:icon54: i love how it sounds, basically, we welded a 2''1/4 pipe on each header that goes straight down next to the tranny so its kinda a long tube header now, then made a Y pipe that goes into a 2''1/2 pipe straight to a megan N1 universal muffler. photos: the Y pipe, i know i know it doesn't look like a Y 2''1/2 pipe and muffler the complet system installed Y pipe and the 2''1/2 pipe the N1 muffler and finally, this is a short video i took still needs new spark plugs/ wires and tuning. http://s118.photobucket.com/albums/o117/my77z/?action=view¤t=MOV00077.flv thats all guys, your comments please thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Great! I am going to do something similar I think. But I am going to run dual 2.5" to single 3" or single 3.5" then into a muffler with no resonance. Not sure which muffler to choose yet. We shall see! Nice work!

b__sosick Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 That is one badddddd car!!1 Can't wait to hear her run Great progress, MY77Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY77Z Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 rudypoochris, i would recommend 2.5''s and single 3'', i wanted to do the same thing but i bought my muffler way back before i had the ford swap idea and didnt want to spend another 160 bucks on a 3'' muffler, thats why i have the 2.5'' and i like so far, it sounds great.....a 3.5'' would be soooooo loud for the cops i think well my muffler is available in 3'' size, and its about 80 bucks on ebay....i payed 160 total with shippin to kuwait....it comes with a silencer that i havent tried yet.. b__sosick, thanks alot and she's almost done, she's running now and this is a video i took 10 minutes ago just for you http://s118.photobucket.com/albums/o117/my77z/?action=view¤t=MOV00080.flv, still needs hood,air dam, paint job and final tuning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I sort of like the sound it makes. I find alot of the mufflers tend to resonate too much for my taste and make too deep of a tone. Do you know what part number or item number that muffle is. I was thinkinging of a certain flowtech (Holley I believe) muffler otherwise. EDIT: Wow, on listening to that second one, I would have to add baffles or cones probably to keep that sound level in check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
