We are making up some new cross pipes. I love my Record Monza exhaust, and I'm not willing to replace it. Furthermore, the mid pipe that it connects too, isn't bad, in fact it's actually superior to many aftermarket parts in some conditions (power, rpm range etc.), but the cross over pipe is a bit too restrictive for my current project. As far as I can tell, there are no cross pipes on the market that will connect my stock cat (which I'm also keeping) to the stock mid pipe, which I have to keep in order to keep my Record Monza. I'm sure you can see where I am going with this.
So, to solve this problem, I have made up a free flowing cross pipe. It's 2.25", stainless, and has enough clearance for some extra insulation since I don't want it heating up the oil pan, clutch, or slave cylinder. There is a good reason the factory put that heat shield on the factory part. My prototype isn't exactly pretty, (I'm a mediocre welder at best) but I'm very happy with the result. At the moment I have it at my machinist's shop. He is making up four of them, which will look nice, he is quite skilled. No pricing yet, no dates, obviously limited availability. Since not too many people have the Record Monza we are not going to make 100 of these things, but I thought I would give you guys a heads up on this.
