if you could cut the GFX to fit i personaly think it would look gorgeous with the tips through the side skirts. Only problem is smoothing out the cuts portion and repainting it to blend.

Yeah I'd love to do that, like on the vipers. But that might end up causing more headaches than its worth

The part after the glasspack would have to be routed before the torque arm and on the left side.

Glasspacks are one of the worst flowing mufflers and usually they do not last very long as most are cheaply made.

I would think they would be free-er flowing considering it's basically a straight shot through the muffler. Anyone know where I can get flow numbers from?

Glasspacks are actually one of the more free flowing mufflers, its just a simple resonator that creates an exhaust tone using the pulse of the exhaust gas - as far as i know it creates very little backpressure...which on a stock small displacment engine may not be good, but most backpressure created by an exhaust system is created byt the cat. converters - and going from a converging Y pipe to true dual short sidepipes will obviously not be a step back and will be about the best flowing, greatest sounding system for the buck.
