Title: Bugpack Dual QP's
Post by: Chris W on May 20, 2014, 05:04:58 am
Getting the car ready for summer and I want to swap to dual QP's. The Bugpack ones look good, but which one do I get? My header flange is right at the apron and I want to get and much of exhaust tucked under the fenders as I can. I was also thinking of swapping to a V-Band clamp but can't find the small ones. 2" or 3" looks to be most common, any ideas?

Pick of current setup-

What size V-band do you need?  Here is 1.75"  http://www.mandrel-bends.com/catalog/1-75-mild-v-band-assembly-3355.html

How about buy the pieces and fit them ,  and have somebody weld them up ? To me, the only real way to get them to fit right. By the way , Car looks great !!

Thanks for the info on the clamps. Those looks close.

Danny, I figured I would be cutting anything I bought up to make it fit. I just had no idea where to get the parts. That site Taylor posted looks like it would be relatively easy to give it a shot. Any idea what you would use for the mufflers or what bends you would recommend picking up?

And thanks for the comments, it's got about 1" of dust on it since it was last out about a year ago on the PCH during the classic.

I think some jeep wrangler mufflers are the same.

I noticed that, makes it easy and the bends are pretty cheap. I have been looking around at mufflers, lots of choices.
