After pics

O.K. I got my stupid camera working some what. It died while the car was on the lift.

Tell me what you think.

Took about 3 hours. We made two sharp bends at the front where the side pipe is just to help out with the back pressure. Runs very good and sounds even better. It dosen't hang down any lower than the factory set up. I went over some big speed bumps with no problem.

I am a big fan of the caps like Songman's. They look great with black. Good job Andrew of representing the Black hole gang, can't wait to see the pics with the new caps! Everything is looking sharp!

I will be searching for similar rims. I want to take my factory aluminum off and install steel with a snow tread for the winter.

BTW - I love those eyelids! If anyone ever runs across a vinyl close to the Sport Red Metallic, please let me know.

Looken good like an HHR should

The pipes look great. Keep the mods coming. Some like it hot and some like it cool. Just do it the way YOU want.

Thanks CH!
Here are some more pics from under the car. Sorry most of them did not work out. I'll be getting a new camera soon. Got only two more pics.

Remenber that this is just a test. I would have made the pipes and welds much cleaner, but did not want to spend lots of time and not have it work.
If any of you want to do this remember that you need back pressure. I made some sharp bends to help give the back pressure that the engine needs. Still flows very well as it is now a 4 inch exhaust from the resonater back. (duel 2 inch pipe after the Y-pipe to the 2 inch side pipes from SoCalHHR's)
