The Car That Changed NASCAR: Sterling Marlin's Crazy Sounding 1995 Daytona 500 Winning Monte Carlo!

What happens here

The car is lifted using a floor jack and jack stands to allow for an examination of its undercarriage. The focus shifts to the X-pipe exhaust system, which is explicitly labeled as '2003, 80 car, not tested 2004', indicating it's a replacement X-pipe from a later model, not the original 1995 version. Details of the headers, merge collectors (not standard 'squish' type), and the shiny Imron paint on the underbelly are discussed. The smoothness of the Imron paint is noted as a modification to reduce drag and improve airflow under the car.

Goal: Inspect the car's undercarriage and detail the X-pipe exhaust system.

Tools and materials

  • Floor Jack — Lifting the car for undercarriage inspection
  • Imron Paint DuPont Imron — Painting the car's undercarriage for aerodynamic benefits and smooth finish
  • Jack Stands — Safely supporting the car once lifted
  • X-pipe Exhaust System — The core of the car's unique sound and performance

What they say

Hide

10 12 years yeah let's look at these these headers in here you can see them a little bit they definitely got some some length to them it looks like the yeah well let's jack it up and look under it i want to see what this what these pipes look like for the real deal firsthand it looks like these boom tubes were handmade like they this is so this is before they were being mass produced you got one of those one of those slow jacks yeah that jack is whack you're getting like a quarter pump out of we're that get to see the underside of the real car [Music] this is intense you're gonna lay down or you wanna do the other side too no i can see just fine like this isn't okay we're going under i wanted to see underneath this car for a very long time what he was asking me i can't remember yeah those are pretty big long primaries with a four to one collector so the the x-pipe says 2003-80 car not tested 2004. okay that's all we had i guess so this isn't like the original pipes but this is what it would have looked like back then okay hey it looks like they were running on something that's got scrapes on the bottom yeah there's some some spiders we'll deal with it for the for the glory here yeah a little bit we can handle it though not every day you get to crawl underneath the daytona 500 winning car look at it there's not too many of these just floating around you notice how much better that paint yeah that's really cool looking smooth have you noticed a difference in this car is black inside yeah instead of white yeah yeah what's the story behind that you could have a lot more things than blacking again white happens every day underneath the car was imran if you'll notice it's not flat it's shiny yeah why is that slick because the air moves faster across it was that actually a noticeable difference in the wind tunnel well larry would probably know remember there painted him around underneath black yeah yeah what kind of paint is this i like this imran
