That exhaust looks awesome John! I need to get around to doing a setup like that on my car.

Is it just my eyes or does your torque arm look bent John?

It's your eyes, the torque arm has no miles on it.

John, did they have to bang in your floor boards to get those muffler's to fit? If not those Pitbulls look like a nice alternative to bullets..

No clearancing of the floorboards.

It's a modified Metco DS loop. Had to be modified for the duals.

I'd like to do a setup similar to this. Do the mufflers/resonators control the sound more when they're further away from the headers? Originally I was going to put some Race Magnums on the collectors. I'd probably dump it right after the axle instead of before.

Where did you purchase that, I have never seen one like that before?

Jake, I haven't really driven the car around but setups like this don't resonant typically, but my car will resonate a bit since it has no carpeting in it right now.

Does having the turndowns aimed toward eachother reduce drone/noise John? My main concern when I do true duals is the drone in 6th gear on the intersate because I still want a decently loud exhuast.

They are turned in but right now my car is a rattletrap without carpeting.
