OUT: Borla with Mufflex Y-pipe
In: Mopac built True dual 3 inch exhaust with cats, Dyno-Max 12inch bullets, and turn downs before the axel
I must say I'm very happy with the way things turned out...much better sound, improve ground clearance, definate improvement in power! I've heard that any car with more than 350rwhp is being restricted with single 3inch exhaust, so I guess I qualify.
It also sounds like a TRUE muscle car now that there is no Y-pipe (I guess that when the sound waves come together, it affects the sound of the idle)
For those that want to know, it was a lot more involved process than putting two straight pipes in with mufflers. I had them do some clearancing in various places such as the cross member and frame, and wrap all the brake lines and fuel lines in this aerospace heat tape. I am very pleased with the quality and customer service...they asked what I wanted and thats exactly what I got and they charged exactly what was quoted. For those that want to know, it was $925cdn taxes in for everything from the labour to the special tape to the cats...everything.
You will definately need long tubes to have a set up like this and have a car that isn't lowered more than a stock 96 WS6 (my car)
Sound: Suprizingly quiet at idle with more lumpy sound. At regular operation levels, its loud but not as loud as my borla. At WOT it sounds like a NASCAR and revs WAY faster! Simply awsome. My Buddy James @ Mopac said he never thought he would hear the day he liked the sound of a 4th gen f-body

PS= I wish I did this sooner!!!
