That is a nice piece, it came out better than I would of thought. So how are you going to pass emissions here?

Well exhaust is piping...so I'm not sure what youre expecting. They are Dynomax Bullet Race mufflers (not glass packs). Custom means they weren't just ordered somewhere, they were custom bent to fit my car, thats all. Its not there to look pretty, its there to be loud. No one has ever called it ghetto before

****ing loud!!! I couldn't tell a difference between open headers vs the exhaust welded up! I got to drive it a couple miles, and it was fun. It has a TON of torque off the line, and I never exceeded 1/4 throttle.

Robert and I finished the test drive and were gonna adjust the lockup speeds on the converter, and once we tried to restart it.....the starter went out!! AAAHHH!!! Soooo close to taking it home! We thought it was the battery at first, but after changing batteries, it still wouldn't start. A new starter is going in tomorrow, and assuming that fixes it (should cuz the old one had 155k miles on it), I'll be bringing it home tomorrow evening.

Its home! This thing is ridiculous. It is obscenely loud! Quite a handful to drive too. I'll get a vid tomorrow.

Got about 360 miles on the motor so far. Here it is Idling at ~1100 rpm. Sound quality does not do justice to the real thing though.
