Title: Wileyco Project
Post by: tdan553527 on January 17, 2005, 07:43:04 AM
Finally cut the stocker off so I could fit the new Wileyco. Doesn't look too bad. Will be cutting the adapter and welding it the flange that I made today.

I made the bracket. Just took the gasket and drew the template and used a plasma cutter and then cleaned it up, then went to autozone and bought a 2 1/4 to 2 1/8 adapter. Got the can from Dennis Kirk e-bay, 50.00

Did you give up on using that reducer/adapter and get a new section of pipe?  Were you able to match the bends or was something off the shelf available?

After many test fittings, just couldn't get the adapter to do what I wanted, so I had a muffler shop made a new mid with the same bends as the stock pipe except for near the can and I had him move it outward about 3/4" so the new midpipe goes straight in, instead of being offset like the stock one.

How much did all that cost at the muffler shop?

$30 for new midpipe and to have the flange welded on.
