Default 67 LS1 swap driving

A few people asked for video of the car driving. We had a hard time figuring out how to do this, but here are what we came up with. We are not great movie makers, and didn't have anywhere to really run it that I could record. The first vid is just a short movie hitting a freeway ramp with traffic. The other is just driving the car around in a school parking lot.

I'm sure its in the First Gen sticky, but what type of exhaust system are you using and sizes? It sounds pretty quite in the videos.

The exhaust is 2.5 inch Stainless Magnaflow duals with X-pipe. It is a recently available kit, and cost less than $500. We had flanges put in at the collector and after the muffler to make it really easy to drop the exhaust. Instead of clamps, we had the system fully welded. It tucks in really nice, and sound nice. It is subtle at idle, but over 3K it gets really authoratative. We both like the subtle sound, instead of the fart can sound the kids seem to like these days...
