Got the exhaust all welded in (pics too)

My buddy came over to day to weld the exhaust on the Cuda.  I owe him BIG TIME.  He did a beautiful job!!!!!!  After all, he's a Mopar guy, so I wouldn't expect anything but perfect from him. 


 :worthless:   so here ya go.

pretty slick there A - I have a question. Do your aft-most exhaust hangers bolt thru the trunk floor? I was going to make 90 degree brackets and hang mine off of the rear frame rails. I have new trunk floors and extensions installed and wanted then as clean as possible.

Yes, they are the same bolts that hold the heat shield on.  TTIs exhaust is designed to have the hangers bolt to the trunk floor.

That was the first thing that popped into my head... protect your welds!! Don't want moisture sneaking in!!

Looks great!! Can't wait to hear how she sounds!! :thumbs:

Burpin thinks he can make out what the rest of April looks like from the reflection in her bumper in the last picture. What do yall guys think,  is that another April sighting?


April, nice job - I still need to get my H-pipe put in after all these months, oh crap its been a year now. Burpin better make an appointment.

April that a nice job Tell the guy that did it it look good, But I have one question in the first picture that you put up, What is all over the underside on the Floor is it some type of rusts proofing stuff, and if it is will the heat from the exshaut melt it or start it on fire, I was just wondering that all

It looks like a thick coat of Z-bart. Under coating spray. At first it looked like alot of rust painted black. But Aprils car is too nice for that. Look at the other pic. She has all her undercoating. Its a real nice Cuda.
