The main reason I did it is so I can drop the whole back 1/2 of the exhaust and add my turn downs and it's loud as hell through the Powersticks. I'm getting old and can't handle riding around all the time with just that setup.

Alright guys everyone & there mother runs either Flowmasters, Dynomax, TSP, or some sort of bullet style muffler. I am running a set of Kooks 1-3/4 longtubes no cats connected to modified Bassani True Dual system. Everyone comments on the car about how it sounds at idle & driving under normal conditions. When your foot is in it this thing sounds unreal !! Loud but deeeep. It was a pretty pricey for this system but after hearing what else is out there and the comments on mine I would have nothing else. Ground clearance is no problem and it is lowered 1-1/2".

My SS Had borla's and it sounded pretty deep, until you hit the loud pedal.. That video does it no justice.

lemons what size pipe are you using I had that same exact setup but with 3" pipe at idle and wotit sounded good but the part throttle was god awful...here are the only decent vids i have of that setup..dont pay any attention to the rev limiter and crappy times..the trans tune was way off and that track is mega slow..

its 2.5 inch piping... a buddy of mine has the same exact exhaust setup and stuff as i do, but he has 3 inch piping.....

IMO the 2.5 inch sounds better... the performance gain from 3 inch over 2.5 is minimal, your talking 1-2 HP...
