Thermal Exhaust Pics needed 2g

[RoryBarron]

I'm looking for a picture of underneath the car for a 2g FWD with a thermal exhaust. Bought a used thermal from a member on here and never got the muffler just the midpipe. I used it as an excuse to buy a varex muffler to go with it, and planned on having a muffler shop install it. The local one I took it to said there was no way to install it without having a few mandrel bends. This isn't a problem besides the fact that there isn't a mandrel bender in Oklahoma. So basically just need some pics of a 2g fwd with a 3 inch exhaust installed so I have an idea what mandrel bends to order. I can get a friend to weld it up no problem as long as I have the parts I need.

Sorry the picture isn't that good. (taken from cell) But If you notice from the muffler (back to front) It's basically molded around our fuel tanks. Ill try to get some more pics up but it won't be until monday when I get back to the shop. . .

You can see the bends used in any 2G FWD exhausts system (including the factory one) to figure out which bends to buy. It doesn't have to be a thermal kit.

Have you had any issues (e.g. scraping it) with not running it in the factory location around the rear control arms?

I know I did back when my car was FWD. It eventually scraped a quarter-sized hole in the pipe. We welded a small but thick skid plate over the hole and it never scraped through again.

I haven't had any problems yet. (knock on wood) The exhaust has been on the car for over a year and this pic was taken last week. (currently in the process of doing rust control)

He needs a pic from of the tubing on the muffler to the cat back mid pipe area.. I know cause i sold him the exhaust and the USPS broke the tape holding the muffler to the restof the package and lost it (sorry still no word buddy, hoped it would how up a week or so later and you could get it, but at least ya got your cash back )

Anyway, if you can't find a good one i'll get you one.. I copied the pipiing to put the crap muffler i now run on my rear AWD mid-pipiing which i assume is thermal or a copy of it also because they mated up exactly the same.

but he needs to see the bends and i'm sure some pics of the thermal hangers at the muffler woudl help,,,those i can't get ya cause i didn't copy those exactly
