Default Midwest fab 9 with watts link and dual 3" exhaust over the axle
Just picked up the car from a stainless true duals install. Everything fit up nicely with the midwest fab9 watts link. Plenty of room. The duals are made of 3" 304 stainless mandrel bent pipe mig welded with stainless wire.

I'm not a big fan of people mounting mufflers like that, but it does look really nice. I also have always liked that color.

He does have cats, I think from SLP. They are pretty small, but if you look in the second pic you can see them.

well the install was $400 ($100 of that was the wire and gas), and roughly 450 i think for the pipe. It's a damn nice setup and well worth the coin IMO

nice job on the exhaust

kind of looks a lot like the new Kooks set up just
with oval mufflers instead of the rounds ones.

We build our own to work with our fabricated nine inch housing. Mounting points are manufactured onto the housing itself.
