Well I already have single side exit on my Daytona and am wanting to go dual from the cat back. The drivers side is done but on the passenger side where I want it to go the fuel filter is there. Will this cause a problem? Is there any chance of the exhaust getting too hot that far back to maybe ignite the filter/lines?
Seems unwise to me, in case there is a fuel leak or something. That said you could wrap the exhaust with thermal wrap through there.
Still trying for this are we Kyle?
For sure bro. Just needed some suggestions from the wise. Is exhaust wrap expensive.
I've got some for sale
yes exhaust wrap is expensive. you will have to wrap it or else you'll heat the fuel lines and cause vapor lock.
I would build a heat shield for the lines rather than do the exhaust wrap. Exhaust wrap could absorb fuel if there is a leak and act like a wick. A well designed heatshield will keep heat off the lines, and shield the exhaust in the event of a fuel leak.

With the pressures of fuel injection this most likely wouldn't happen. This was more prevelant with carbureted cars because of the very low fuel pressures.Originally Posted by t3rse
I believe it is the fact that fuel injected cars use a return line that keeps the fuel from heating therfore preventing vapor lock.
Not all FI cars have a return line though, the Neon SRT-4 doesn't have a fuel return line stock.
ive been running dual side exit for a few weeks now on my tona with no problems.
Nice looking exhaust although I would paint the pipes black to match the red and black theme of the car. Also I noticed your seat belts are odd. I have never seen a daytona with the door mounted belts.
im thing im going to flat black the whole car. the paint is shot. and the belts are '87 '88 only.
That's a cool exhaust.
thank you.That's a cool exhaust.
Those belts must have been a special option because my Shelby Z 88 does not have them.
my last '88 had them too.
What muffler did you use? do you have a sound recording so we could hear it?
because cars burst into flames all the time with gas soaked wrap...right?
what did you use for tips?ive been running dual side exit for a few weeks now on my tona with no problems.
