Yes

I went a quarter inch smaller. My main is 2.5". My J is 2.25". It is said to have it within a quarter inch.

Yes. I had stock suspension at the time of this video (2010). Yes, to the offsets.

I did this back in 2012. I can't remember the price.

Yes. It does.

I went the route of fuel injected carb for my old 454. And hands down, the LS is the best decision I made. It's better in every respect, especially if you are concerned with fuel mileage.

@@reborn74nova thanks! Been watching your videos, thanks for doing that. They are a big help!

You could probably incorporate a separate additional reservoir and join the factory reservoir with the new custom one. Just a simple rerouting of one of the factory hoses. Then you can do the drilling to the new reservoir. Where there's a will, there's a way. Think outside the box.

@@reborn74nova I was kidding. I will probably drill into the reservoir and just add it. Thanks anyway, and good luck with the rest of your projects.

Lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just paint bare channels with Epoxy primer. Then, cover (mask) to eliminate the risk of painting over the epoxy.

So happy to help!!!

You can use the same pipe size or close to the main pipe size as main exhaust pipe size. My pipe size is 2.5" and I went with 2.25"

Thats great thanks for your reply @@reborn74nova

Thank you!

If you don't do long drives, drone will not be a nuisance. But on long steady state drives, that can be a half-hour hr or longer it can cause headaches and make the drive a bit uncomfortable. Big difference on those long drives.

@@reborn74nova I don't drive my hot rods enough to care..I would rather they sound very mean ...I don't think your hot rod should be your daily

@johnperales5431 it's not my daily, but if I take a road trip (like Las Vegas), it's the first to be chosen. Plus, doing burnouts is fun in different cities, lol.

Yes. The 74s have two retractor. One is on the roof. The other is on the floor. They both have locking capabilities in accidents. The upper is the shoulder belt. The lower is the lap belt.

I actually did try getting footage of the before or after. But the difference could not be shown through video. So I left it out. Thank you for Watching.

@@reborn74nova thank you for clarifying.

I didn't want to change the exhaust note. A glass pack would have more than likely changed the sound as it would be inline with the exhaust flow. And could also introduce another unwanted frequency. J pipe just focuses on frequency elimination with no effect on over all sound. Thank you for your comment 🙂

@reborn74nova you did the rite thing. I never heard of this solution until I watched your vid. So I would have wasted money. I probably would have liked the change, but I also probably would have not fixed the problem you were having. I would have just changed it a bit. I'm not a gear head though. I am mechanically inclined, I do have a small machine shop/ fab shop for hobby reasons. I just purchased a Sherco 300SEF. I want to make it quieter, so I looked up exhaust mod videos and came across yours. Great job by the way, and thank you for the info in your video, and for your response. Sweet ride by the way...

No I did not.

In a word NEVER!!! The Nova handles better with the the Lighter LS3. Has better gas mileage. Sounds better. And has more power and torque than that BBC ever had. The LS3 was worth every cent and worth all the time and effort spent doing the second rebirth.

Thank you very much for your videos and honest opinions. Years ago I owned a 74 Nova Hatchback with a BBC and 400 turbo, I put a fiberglass hood, front fenders, and front 72 fiberglass front bumper on it and drag raced that car with a 72 grill. I really miss the 74 hatchback and regret doing a 72. The 74 is a much safer car than the 72. The one piece door glass and the support beam in the door was a safe improvement along with the extended bumpers. If I could turn back time (Cher). Keep the videos coming and thanks again.

Glad to help

The same or up to 1/2" in either direction (+/-) I chose to go 1/4" smaller than main pipe.

Back then I got everything on ebay (2010)

Later on I did install electric fan. It's a must.

I actually have 265/45/18 now. No rubbing but with 6" BS

I had the same experience with the $10ish ones on Amazon. They sell the same one at Advance Auto Parts. The one he used is $26 and appears to be more sturdy.

Any updates on how the tool performed?

@@MrOiram46 I did order this 1, but haven't used it yet. What I can say is it's a little thicker gauge metal than that cheap 1 that I first bought that was half the price.

Glad it was helpful!

No

You are very welcome. In my opinion it's necessary if u are looking for true factory like functionality

Link in description area.

@@reborn74nova Sorry can’t find it ?

@@MrNicky257 Really? I just checked my link and takes u right to product.

Yes. I did it several times. In various situations such as driving up hills etc. While watching the rpms.

Thank you very much. That helps a lot. The drone in my car is around 2000 rpms and it is just deafening. I will give the 1/4 resonator a try. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
