got the exhaust fixed on the Sebring...Cherry Bomb turbos and tips from Assured Automotive.

the sound is sweet and mellow with no raspy ricer noise...no interior resonance...feels nice to get it right on the first try lol

You just couldn't wait could you! At least you have an open rear fascia. My Stratus can't run duels without either looking weird or modifying the bumper: it has an arched recess for a single exhaust tip.

I wish mine looked like yours.

That Sebring has some pep. The 2.7 makes 200hp and slightly less torque. Not as fast as a GT, but close.

I think the tips look great, but it just seems odd to me to add louder muffs on a sebring. I always thought of the sebring convertible as a quiet cruiser, but t-bat you've proved my opinion wrong before. Looks great though, glad you got what you wanted on your first try.

If his Sebring is like the coupes, we have 3 catalytic converters and a resonator. Most of my guys just remove the factory muffler and go with a straight pipe. The other stuff quiets down the exhaust so much, it gives it a nice, non-raspy tone.

thats affirm...the first time I got a look under the car I ask myself "where the heck is the cat?"...then after looking closer at the underside of the engine bay, this engine looks like a potato trying to have kids.

It aint top-down weather here everyday and it is getting colder but we get a nice afternoon now and again.
The Sebring vert was never marketed as a sporty car, and thats a shame cuz it is a fun to drive little rascal...and anytime I can get that with 32mpg I'll take it laugh

Those tips look awesome!
And for the dealer decal, if you have access to a heat gun, that'll help to remove it.

Wow that didn't take very long lol. I've never seen a Sebring with duals and they actually look pretty good. Nice job T-Bat, looking forward to some video clips!

Re: the ragtop has pipes:) - 01/14/08 09:27 AM

oh yeah man...planning on some retro look wheels/tires...got my eye on some black wheels w/polished lip (thanks Kev)...very akin to the old Mopar rallye wheel...in 15 in wrapped with some classic BF Goodrich radial T/As w/raised white letters wink

Looking good there, Tbat

Can't you do a mini clip with your digital cam?
I didn't look at it close ... I know mine doesn't, but just wondered about yours.

here's a little photo chop I did of where my head is going with the Sebring...the Cobra wheels actually look pretty close to the rims I have my eye on except the centers are black nstead of gray...reviving the RoadRunner!

Re: the ragtop has pipes:) - 01/20/08 02:41 PM

Sorry but the old school tires don't work on the front. Way too much sidewall.
Posted by: jjcom

Re: the ragtop has pipes:) - 01/20/08 03:06 PM

I really like how the tire/rims look on there...I wouldn't pick those colors for the paint though, I'm more a red/black kind of person...or dark green and white. But I like the idea.

Re: the ragtop has pipes:) - 01/20/08 10:38 PM

nice little roadrunner decal... the colors are not okay at all... im just saying... if ur gonna go through that much trouble... paint it all black and do some white racing stripes and then it will match the wheels better...

If only we could wedge a 440 big block between the fenders. Transverse BB FTW! laugh
