Default tuned F body exhaust

Hello all I was wondering if anyone here has actually taken the time to put together an actuall tuned exhaust for their Fbody? If so could you post up pics as to what it looked like? Im reading about it but having trouble putting it together in my head!

The answer would vary based on what parts are in the engine and how it's intended to be used. Displacement, Cam specs, intake manifold design, and desired RPM window all fall into desiging header primary lengths and diameters. The off the shelf headers do as well as they can given the geometry envelope they're required to fit into, but there are compromises. Similar design criteria can be applied to the rest of the exhast, but that theoretically correct exhaust would never fit under the car unless you jacked up the car 5 inches. The vettes have the room for a more correct setup, however.

Where do you get pipemax? What all do you need to run it is there like a demo version somewhere?
