Exhaust

Here is the Y pipe that I had made for me.  Metzler's Garage & Muffler Center made the Y pipe,  installed it, and connected it to the existing exhaust.  This guy is the best around that I know of and is reasonable.
 
 
 
 
 

This is the passenger side exhaust.  There is plenty of room for exhaust to go down through.  The guy at the exhaust shop was smart enough to not dump it right beside the starter, instead he ran it far enough away so it doesn't get heat soaked.
 

Here is the drivers side, you can see he also put it far enough away from the fuel lines also.  I still might wrap the lines just to be safe, and to prevent vapor lock.  The 2.8 was made for the chevette.  This guy did one heck of a job.
 

Here you can see how it all goes together.  The Y pipe is 2 inch comming off the manifold and that goes into 2.25 inch.  What I need to do now is take it back out when i get some money, and have him throw on 2.25 inch all the way out the back.   Because it's a stock Chevette exhaust from the Y pipe back through the muffler.  It's probably choaking out some what.
 

Here is how close everything is.  You can also see how well the chevette alternator bracket works with the v6.
 
 

This is the fan from an 80's style cavalier.  It runs a little warm.  But I still have the 195 degree stat in it.
 

Well this is pretty much everything you need to do to have yourself your very own 2.8 powered chevette.  Of course there is some small stuff I didn't cover.    And there is alot of bugs to work out.  All I care about right now is that it fires up when i turn the key and that it goes when I step on the gas.  And boy does it go.  Alot faster than a Chevette 1.6
 

But if anyone has any questions please email me, or contact me on the forum.  I'll be happy to take pictures of anytyhing you want to see, or answer any questions anyone has.
