Time to get my hands dirrty under the car! Ill be adding a modded 3" SR downpipe with a big 3" resonator just before the cutout to give a more throaty tone than raspy. I did the same for my old red car and it was just as cool as my 1st SR swap!

I got really bored and creative but this is my rough in-vision when its all sewn together. The numbers are references to how many separate pieces of material will be sewn together to form the whole door.

Cutting up a 3" SR down pipe with a vibrant 3" in/out 18" long resonator just before the cutout. Cutouts sound wayy better with a strait through res to deepen the tone [![http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/3759/picture836.jpg](http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/3759/picture836.jpg)](http://img825.imageshack.us/i/picture836.jpg/) Just lucked out with the clocking of the E cutout, the cat back will remain oem with minor modification. I jacked up a solid pipe indenting the undercarriage where the resonator is to tuck it up for ground clearance.

down pipe is completely done, added a little turn down to the dump to keep the heat and flames from my drive shaft.

Picked up a yard of 20gauge charcoal vinyl for the rear window.

Stretching an old T-shirt over the door panel to get the desired look.

I left the panels out side with a radiant heater facing them and it took 2 hours to harden solid, also helps to be on the heavy side with the hardener.
