So, full stock exhaust with cats and a modified Y for the headers plus the cut out? And then went to 3" true duals, no wonder it runs so much better! Is it much louder than stock?

All true TDs OTA are going to sound good, mufflers are just a matter of personal preference to fine tune the sound one likes. Video clips IMHO , are only good to see where its idling at and how big a cam it may have other than that, they are worthless unless taken with the very best equipment . Post some good pics of under the car !

It had Longtubes, no cats, with electric cutout. if closed would go through stock muffler.

Now true duals with X-pipe. It is not as loud as open headers nor does it sound like a cat getting rapped. The sound got a lot deeper and power band starts earlier. OMC said it correctly videos are irrelevant unless for cam and idle. The actual sound of the car is different than the video suggest.

Yeah, I didnt pay much attention to video. I want to do the same thing. I talked to guy a chambered exhaust this morning, I am thinking about going with the Corba Pac. They are 4" body. Do you think that they will fit? I know the Power Sticks are only 3 1/2" body.

I am not sure if they will fit I was very limited in room. I put resonators ( shorten cobrapacks right before tips. So I have the regular sticks by drive shaft and resonators before tips. Make sure exhaust guy is very very good and meticulous. Bc little room for error. that thing will rattle on everything if your not careful.

Slow Ride - I talked with you. Let me know if the Cobras are going to fit & I'll build them.

Will be doing something similar, but dumped on the wife's T/A. What is the name of the shop?
