I will have some pipe off the cutout to quiet it down a tad and to get the 16-20" I need.

I think you must have seen my original posts from some time ago..


I did:
Pacesetters
Dual 3" cut outs (QTP's)
3" cats from summit
3" to 2.5" reducers
Flowmaster dual 2.5" to 3" Y-collector
Tied in to the stock I-pipe
Had a hooker aeromax weled in on a 3" flange using the stock tips so I could pullt it out to do the fuel pump.

Thanks again for that info, not a very CA friendly set-up

To everyone else, I ordered the headers, collectors, reducers, cutouts, and other stuff today, $800 worth, and will be ordering cats and electric plates tomarrow or the next day. I will definitly post up many many pics because I know people are interested in this. Keep posting questions or comments.
