The pan in my 1600 also has a plate and baffels to
keep the oil going in the right places. Now if I can
just keep the exhaust pipes from falling off. Having a
problem getting in and out of my garage. The clamp
strap behind the header pipe catches on the garage
floor because of the angle of the garage apron. I am
thinking about running either a side exhaust or
instead of using a single tube system, make a splitter
that then runs two smaller diameter pipes under the
car and have them come out on either side of the spare
tire buldge in the rear.
