Both of those cars look awesome. But is it just me or does it look like they're still rocking fart pipes. Lol. That is a very nice Z and that RX7 is gonna fly too.

I saw the Z car and exhaust in person. It is very nicely constructed and a clean conversion.

I believe they are both running Magnaflow mufflers.

The blue 402LS2 RX-7 has dual 3" into a single 3.5". It sounds very very healthy.

wicked stuff, I love the Zcar, man that tail end is pure sex!
so simple and clean, you got a really nice car on your hands, the LS2 swap is gonna be a wild ride! the exhaust work looks super nice, kinda low but hey the can placement is perfect and those welds look great!

I wonder if I should run mine into a single to save some weight?

Beautiful exhaust work- I cobbled up 2.25" x 2 into 3" and am running a 3" in/out regular Dynomax muffler at the rear (no converter) on my '75 LT1 280.

Do you have any ground clearance issues over speedbumps, etc.?
