That is a nice looking setup!! I'm really thinking about going that way, but there is ONE thing that's holding me up on it.... Did you notice an increase in the amount of exhaust fumes that are in the car while sitting at redlights, etc?

I was afraid of that also Gomer, but the answer is no.
I actually had more fumes in the car with the turndowns on the old catback (hard to believe but true, but the old turndowns faced 90 degrees down, the new ones on the duals shoot slighty back as evident in the pic).
Clearance is tight though. Only small to medium speed bumps can be crossed (diagonally). The guy put the mufflers as far back as possible so that the rear tires will help with clearance.

mine used to get hella fumes in the car, when it was stopped
kinda funny though when your next to rich folks in a mercedes or something, and they have to roll their windows up from your fumes....of course thats if your running rich as hell and burning oil like crazy like I was

It's just on the threashold of daily drivability. 1 db louder, and I'd consider it intolerable. The thing is that I can manipulate the throttle well enough to pass through quiet communities (actually something I must do daily).
But, it's loud enough to make the ricer in the next lane **** his pants. Actually, not loudness, but the shear mean tone of it. My car makes other drivers nearby reverberate from the core now.
I can always put some Borla XS or Magnaflows on there instead of the Flowtechs to quiet things a bit, but for now, I'm really enjoying the setup as is.
