It does sound a little choppy for a small cam, even on a 112, but its still at stock idle (850). When I tune it, I will probably drop it to around 750-800 to give it a little more chop.

I can't believe you bought a no name brand exhaust without asking anyone on the board's permission. ;p That is the sign of a true maverick right there. Nice man.

A 2 1/2 inch outlet is a good size. Nothing sez "ricer" to me like a four inch outlet pipe!

How can you have so many cars? You must not be married!

2 1/2 is a fine outlet size, but I need some tips on there. I am going with a set of Corsa clone tips. Damn they look sexy on black birds

As far as being married, no I am not

Also, those are my former cars.

Wow I love the sound of 8 cyl. That thing sounds mean, dang man. I wish I got my fbody sooner. Well then This may sway my idea of getting the flowmaster exhaust. I will ask how is interior noise? I had a straight pipe on my grand am for a while and that annoyed the crap outta me, too loud, was the first person to do a side pipe exhaust with a glass pack muffler on the car.

I have a JEGS 3" Exhaust on a 3rd Gen. It is a very nice catback. It doesn't drone or rasp and sounds plenty deep. It also flows pretty well. And you're right about fitment. It's a very good system for a great price.
