I crushed my tailpipe and damaged the resonator more than once. It is simply stupid to have it poking out the back the way it is if you're going to see some action in the rocks. I had a local shop weld in a 70 Series Flowmaster with dual inlets and a 3" tailpipe that exits right behind the passenger side rear wheel., The resonator and the pathetic, criminally restrictive Y pipe are gone. The sweet, mellow rumble of the V8 is finally audible! There is absolutely no drone, no raspy rice-burner, fart-pipe sounds. In fact, on the freeway I can just barely hear it. While accelerating, I can actually hear what the engine is doing. It seems to pull harder than it did before. I couldn't be happier with this setup!
