Cruisin’
So after mangling the exhaust last weekend on an "easy when dry" obstacle i decided to follow the mantra of a local club member;
"its not breakage, but an upgrade opportunity"
All in all im thrilled w/ the work and how the layout came out. I am not so thrilled w/ the tone of the muffler but may be replacing it or adding an inline resonator/glasspack. Any one have thoughts on whether another muffler would restrict any performance gains due to backpressure??? It took hours for the tech to get it up and over the frame rail, after A LOT of convincing, and unfortunately i walk away for 20 min and he welds up a flowmaster. Anyhow not exactly what i was after but well see how best to deal w/ that later. He took me right in w/ no apt and it was hot as nutz so i was trying to avoid any PITA fees by asking him to cut it out and replace it.
parts: 3'' high flow single Catco cat. converter
3" over the frame rail (no crimping)
3'' Flowmaster 50 and 3'' pipe to the exit
thoughts: definately more pick up off the line
definately consider something other than a flowmaster
( i love the idle and WOT notes, just gen accel is loud)
