Default Pics of my bullets on long tubes.

Finally got some quality pics of my bullets on headers. Sounds bad *** and is not as loud as you think. or maybe i just got used to it.
I put the soda can on the lowest part of the exhaust.
They are "race" 1 3/4 coated pacesetters and 12"x3" bullets with a 4" body. i flattened down the bullets (i only did it as far as it didn't affect the inside 3" diameter) for increased ground clearence and beat up the underbody of the car a little on the drivers side.
I LOVE the way this exhaust sounds and can't wait till i throw a huge cam in it. it sounds deeper and more old school muscle carish than true duals and you sure as hell can't beat the flow.
i will soon be changing to 1 7/8 Kooks and 3.5" bullets.

That looks really good.

We are going to do the same to the car once we get everything set back up. For the extra flow and weight savings over duals, you can't beat it.

Figured i might as well use the digicam i bought for something so I finally got some video/sound of my exhaust! You might have to give the videos a few min to "optimize".

I'm assumming in the higher RPM ranges, right? I'd love to see a back-to-back comparison between headers with extensions vs 3" duals.
