Mid Pipe Question

ASSISTANCE Hybrids & Advanced Aftermarket Engine Performance

I got bored the other day and ripped out my entire exhaust. It deserved to go.
I have most of the parts I need to replace it, except for the mid pipe.

Here is what I have to work with at the current moment.
1990 LS 3 door with a b18b swap
JDM Try Y header - properly fitted :rockon:
Flowmaster rear section
New Rubber hangers, gaskets, heat shield, ceramic coating, header wrap etc…
I will walk down to Jegs and size up a solution for the catalytic converter once I get the mid pipe.

I was looking and searching and came across a Dynomax (DNX) Mid Pipe. I installed one of their Cat Back systems on a Jeep XJ once and was happy with the quality of the components.

The pipe is listed for a 92-93 model, but I have a 90 chassis.
Will this work for my application? If not why and does anyone have any suggestions? I am trying to avoid custom made, I want to do this all in my driveway if at all possible.

from all the info that I have gathered, it will work if you have a four door. Try http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/tucms308.html they have a mid pipe for 90-91.

Should work fine.

Catback = Every part of the exhaust behind the catalytic converter

SS = Stainless Steel

Resonator = A resonator is a device used to help bring the sound levels down (in that photo it is the larger diameter portion - there is also one on your stock exhaust). For a more technical description of how they work —> Google!

anyone know how long installation is for a mid pipe? under an hour?

Depends on:

  • if you have a lift
  • if you have air tools
  • if have done it before and don’t have to think about it
  • if there are any rusted or stubborn nuts/bolts

but in general it’s pretty easy, just unbolt from the cat and from the axle back, un-hook from the hangers and you’re done.

ah thanks! i’m taking it in and had the cost of labor in mind. so assuming under an hour.
