Can't believe you got rid of the Edlebrock setup, that sounded badass IMO. All that work banging in the floorboards for full size mufflers and you went back with little can mufflers. Why did they use all stainless everywhere but ended up with rusty crap u-bolt hangers on the back of the mufflers? None of this makes sense.

The u bolt hangers were rusty becasue they were mild steel. I didn't have stainless one. They are now painted silver so they actually look pretty sharp. I would have rather had the hangers welded on and got rid of the clamps all together but my fabricator suggested I keep them for flexibility.

No offense man, but the piping to the x and the x transition look horrible... Way too many bends.. The over the axle part looks amazing but I'm just not feeling it man. Sounds good though?

Hell,looks ok to me.Trying to run x pipe and full duels on a f body is not that easy,just gettin' a y pipe to fit with some clearance is a task,sh*t i'd rather try to give a ant an enema than to fight running duels all the way.

For a hand made custom setup out of stainless steel, its not that bad. I'm at about $2300 on my C5 with Kooks LT's and a Corsa catback. I could have bought some piece of **** ebay headers or Pace Setters and had Billy Bob bend me something out of mild steel that would fit like **** and last for about 6 months, but like this guy I wanted something that looked good, sounded good, performed good, and will last.
With that aside, the system looks great! How is it going over bumps, does it bang on the drivers side? Oh yeah, throw some rustoleum on that rear end!

The other video isn't up yet up but this is on the dyno with the new mufflers .....
It resonates a little and bouncing off the back wall dosen't help. I will try to get a vid on the street when I get some time.
Click here to see Video
I was only giving an account on what I did to benifit others.
I had reservations about divulging cost because people would get all crazy about it.
FWIW, I helped build the system and I put over 16 hours into it with the fabricator. I didn't just stand around or drop the car off. Putting together a custome setup that tucks up nice, has awesome TIG welds, dosen't rattle, dosen't bang or anything else, takes alot of time. I know what the parts cost because I bought them and I know the time it took.
To everyone that had compliments, thanks very much.
To those that have something negative to say, please keep it to yourself and move along.

2k doesnt is that with the headers included in that price too? even so its all stainless which is what i would like to do some day too. everyone has differeent plans for there car and to me i want the best the first time i do it and if it costs alot then so be it just save more money instead of buying the cheapest stuff. always buy the best products not the best price.
anways looks good cant wait to some day have true duals also.
