What type of exhaust is that? True duals? I haven't seen anything that looked like that before. Any pictures of the car on a lift? Where are your mufflers?

thanks for the comments...once I get back from Orlando I'll paint the inside of the tips black to make those lips pop. The exhaust is TSP TD's w/sweet thunder mufflers. All that was done to the exhaust was the turndowns were cutoff and flanges put on and the 3 inch pipe routed out the back like a Cobra. A friend of mine (PWRTRPN) had this done to his Formula. The best part is I didn't lose any ground clearance from before. The mufflers are right before the rear end where they would be with the TSP kit. To remove it, I just unbolt the flanges and 2 bolts by the 90* bends and it all comes down so I can work on the rear end or track it. i got pics of it on the lift on my blackberry but will post them when I get back from my vacation.

imlooking- yes I have Hooker SuperComp LT's

I think it looks good in the pics man. I can't tell if it is quieter. I will have to check it out from the inside when you get back. I will have to wait until I am allowed to ride in a car though...not allowed to ride/drive until the 17th. Still sounds good though. Are you still thinking of selling it?

For some reason those tips are really good at smoothing out the flow and making it sound GREAT! My friend's car with just MAC headers and LM1 sounded AWESOME with the same tip setup...

It is a 232/236 I think...I don't remember exact specs. I probably have the cam card on my other computer.
