looks great. I have the same hardtop. I seem to be missing the latches that hold the top down though next to the side glass. is yours original or did you make some kind of hold down strap?

Nobody ever seems to get the hold down hardware with these tops. I have one too. I used mine with my old conv top removed, and made a bracket to the side. Otherwise you will need to engineer a bracket that goes over the conv frame. I have driven mine locally with just the front attached, but I wont recomend it... Now I have a new top, my hard top is for sale cheap.

Finished product looks good. I can't help think that a dual tip would have been the way to go. They just don't look right if it's a single.

I agree with you on that Brad but not many Tips are a size that fits a 124 only the Ansa has the
size but i think the sound to sharp and loud . I've been trying to find a Dual tip or Muffler with
Dual but gave up now i plan to make my own with 2 single tips :evil: :evil: :evil:

Josh,
Did you place the resonator where the cat would go? The exhaust looks good. I'm just finding out I might have to custom one myself. I putting a 1800 eng in a 81 frame. IAP was confused about that one.

I have decided she is a tad loud. Not so much for me, but for my wife and others. I also use this car for driving to the race track on work weekends where I often drive many hours, and it could drone to much. It is great at 65, but with the suspension, and brakes she feels so good at 75 :)

I ordered a muffler and am anticipating its arrival. I am concerned it will take to much of the Italian flare out of the exhaust, but only time will tell.

Here is a video at idle.
