SALEENS7 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) OK......i hope this works. I have measeured and measured and this should work. Going to install a saleen center exhaust system onto my edge. I order the exhaust this friday and will let you guys now how it goes. I have yet to see this done on an edge.....so i am giving it a shot. Saleen makes oustanding performance parts, and although they have nothing for the edge, i can customize this too fit. I will do most of this myself and will have to make new hangers but this should sound bad as___ when i finish. Below is the exhaust i am getting. I will have to adjust the mufflers of course and shorten a few tubes....but it will look great......i hope. Wish me luck fellow edgers. Oh, and the small exhaust outlets you see coming from the mufflers...those are dump valves, few more horses on full throttle and a deeper sound.

Good_Hands Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Interesting. I would like to see when you are done. I'm not so sure of how the side-by-side dual exhaust is going to look hanging under the back bumper though. Then again....could be pretty sick too.

SALEENS7 Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Good hands i was thinking the same thing....but i think i can get those to incorporate into the rear valance/bumper pretty good. I am having a custom aftermarket body installer remove the rear bumper/valance and custom form an exhaust opening. But i am picky at making every thing look like factory, so they will do a good job, they know how i am. I think someone will say on here...why....i will say, because it is different. I am putting another pic on my post of what the rear will hopefully look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoopo Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) I was reading and at first was like... "ehhh, I dunno..." Then when you said you're gonna have the rear skirt/valence/whatever customized for the exhaust... well, I too am feeling it. If done well it should be something. I don't know what all will be involved in this but it has a pile of potential! I'm looking forward to seeing the end result :shades: Here's a pic similar to what SALEENS7 was having trouble posting: (the diffuser isn't part of the exhaust, fyi) EDIT: Good Hands beat me to it. And without a diffuser too. I stand humbled Edited October 8, 2007 by scoopo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SALEENS7 Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 your wheels look great, what size what brand and size are thry? jb Filmoe, my wheels are 22" luciano ($350 ea). And my tires are general uhp's, 305/40-22's.(from the tire rack, $178 ea) The ride is great. The tread is quite deep so u will hear about a 10% increase in road noise. After 2 weeks though, i do not even notice it. I suggest though u go with a 35 instaed of 40 series tire. My rear tires make a very slight rub into the plastic shielding inside the tire well at around 50 mph when hitting a pretty good bump (speed bump, railroad tracks). It does no damage to my edge...it is just annoying. I went with the 40 series because they want another $200 ea for a 35 series tire. I was hoping when i bought them that 40 would be ok. It is, but the rubbing will annoy u so spend the extra dough and get 35 series tires. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
