mmmmmm.......stainless.
Thanks for posting.
Did it change the sound much?
I haven't seen a small clamp at the merge like that one before. Is it holding up? Do you know what kind it is?
*EDIT* http://www.mandrelbendingsolutions.c...s-Steel/Detail
Without even measuring, it looks like my/your cutout location isn't going to work with even a 16" muff.
So I may be going with Torched's location at the bend afterall....
Something I havent thought of. To adapt my Y to the merge, it looks like I'll at least need to get a couple of 3" 45 or 90 bends to cut up.
Probably aluminized steel instead of stainless to keep costs down.
So, I need 2- 3" and 1- 4". http://www.mandrelbendingsolutions.c...-Degree/Detail
And one of these:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Unive...d=270409434974
And this:http://www.dynomax.com/mufflers.php?muffler=racebullet
And maybe a foot of this: for making the cutout straight off the bend or for whatever:http://www.mandrelbendingsolutions.c...traight/Detail
And this:http://www.dmhperformance.com/ecutout.htm
I've already ordered the merge.
I still need a 4" flange for the cutout, but my head hurts from searching...
What else am I forgetting?....
Anyone know where I can get this crap cheaper?

I have a local guy that does my work for me. I took him the car with the headers on it and the stock muff in place. I gave him the y pipe, merge and cutout and took pictures of torched's stuff with me. I am no good at exhaust work. Ground clearance is better than stock and I'm on Strano springs. I am using a SLP dual/dual muff and don't seem to have any rasp. I haven't driven the car that much yet.

I have a CMS 4" exhaust and I like the sound a lot. It has a 3" y pipe with flowmaster merge to single 4" with magnaflow muffler. It even fit without panhard relocation although it is pretty close and does rattle sometimes lightly.

Nice!!!
Dude, your tires are on fire!
Videos are always hard to tell, but it sounds deeper than mine does. I debated for awhile to do this, now I'm pretty stoked. The reason I got a cutout is so it WOULD sound like ***! WOT is great! Scares old ladys and makes babies cry. It's cruising at part throttle with it partially open where spewing *** is getting old. I just want a cleaner, deeper note and hey, if I pick up a single HP, it's just a bonus.
I'm debating about keeping/tossing the dynomax muff idea. The Hooker catback is pretty quiet if I want it to be (like if CHP is behind me). I just can't deal with the machine gun pulsing rasp.
I'm not too concerned about clearing anything. There seems to be plenty of room... I think. Trying to find pics to see. Too lazy to get under the car today.
