Lovely car. I am jealous.
I can see you are having a lot of fun with it too. Congratulations. I suggest turning the muffler clamps to the side so that the ends can't catch things you might need to drive across. If you weld it this won't apply but I never like welding them because the parts never wear out at the same time and its a devil to take off the rear section after its welded! Tom W

Bring the exhaust by next time you visit your Dad and I'll weld it up for you.

Looking good! BTW I copied your sixth picture, first post today, as wallpaper, Hope you or Brett don't mind. One SEC owner to another.

Look at that big body roll... Looks fun John. I love the 2+2 seating you've got in there, unlike the one I posted.

Imbroke,
You found an SEC with a bench rear seat???? Never saw one before. Was it the Euro with Velours interior?

You didnt see anything leaking under there either

What brand of muffler is that, John? I was wondering if there's a way to run dual exhausts out the back from the cats. I know the tire well presents an obstacle. Do you know if there's a way to put a muffler in the spot where the resonators went for the second pipe and then run it out the back on the passenger side?

Its a Dynomax Ultra Flo X muffler (http://www.dynomax.com/products/ultraflox.html). You may want to just try to find a set of euro logs since theyre easier to come across then tri-y's and just do a setup similar to mine. Check on Benzworld for pics of darkone's exhaust on his 500SEC, he did dual outs, but I dont remember how they were routed.

I remember that. I've tried contacting him, but he doesn't respond.

He finally got back to me in a PM on BW after a coupe of months, I dont think he comes on here anymore.
