I need it Tuned bad..
It was spinnin the whole way if you listen to it closely..

This is what I did for the Exhaust..3" Y'ed into a 4", then reduced back to a 3" over the Axle into the Muffler. That is the Street setup, there will be a cut-out on it about 2ft back from the Y soon.

UMI Performance, Tunnel Brace Mounted with Drive Shaft Loop. It's adjustable as well.

Noisy, but you get used to it, beats the hell out of the stock one and looks nicer too. You can use a Truck Tail Shaft Housing on your Tranny, and all you have to do drop the Tranny is unbolt the Drive Shaft, no messing with the Torque arm at all.

Can you give me some pointers and part numbers to make up a ypipe like that? I'm going to be hitting your old motor with a healthy dose of spray, I'm planning to do a 4" dumped.
Still stumped on what I need to make the ypipe up. I see you got it to merge nicely at the y instead of slamming together.

I built that Y-pipe. It's 3" merged very nicely into a 4", then into a 3.5", then into a 3" over the Axle into a Magnaflow Muffler..A Cutout will be on the 3.5" piece here soon..talk about something sounding like sex on wheels..
