Default Swapped my exhaust

Just wanted something different on my car. Sold the old corsa and installed a hawks 3rd gen sinister 4" with a dynatech split-flow race muffler. I copied it from another member on here. But the most important thing is that no one around my area has an exhaust set up like this, and that's what I was going for. It has a very nice deep tone to it. I've got a ton of compliments already. Cant wait to hear how it sounds going down the track at WOT. Heres a couple vids:

That is EXACTLY what I plan to do to mine. Hate the vacuum cleaner tips on these cars!

Looks awesome!

Thank you, I appreciate it. I am probably going to pull this motor soon and sell it. I want to go to a stock 6.0 block and a set of twins so I can drive it more. And make it emissions legal.

WOW that sounds GREAT! I LOVE that lope! What's the specs, what LSA? Will it work for a stock LQ9?

As for my exhaust, I am going to run either Purple Horines glasspacks or Dynomax 3.5"/5"/16.5" bullets, coming off the collector of my Edelbrock Victor step headers.

Thank you, I appreciate it. The cam is a custom grind with 643 lift, 110 LSA and it probably wont work on a stock 6.0...

Since I'm on an ULTRA tight budget, I'm not doing a cam now, plus I really didn't want to spend money on a cam when running 317 heads; I'll wait till I get the L92/Vic Jr setup.

I will say this though.... Right now my exhaust only consists of Edelbrock Victor LT step headers with 3.5 collectors and it sounds SICK! I'll be putting on a set of Purple Hornies 3.5s and running them right off the collectors so that should make things a bit more SINISTER....AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
