Yeah it's loud, of course headers will help a lot too. If you want for some reason the sound clip in my sign hasn't been working, if you have AIM I can send it to you thru that or email.

LET'S SEE IF THIS WORKS

Do you still have your cat-converter?
Is the Super Comp Dual Exit or single exit and what pipe Diameter do they use?

I have a replacement non- hi-flo cat. They're all 3" piping. And dual exit. These are the tips that come with it.

He had to have a shop weld it on, he bought the cheaper system. The HO/and normal systems only difference is the way they hook up to the cat, so Mark had to have it welded since he got the one with the wrong hook up.

Yeah, what Hg said. I got the $200 one and had a square flange on it. I had the exhaust shop cut it off and weld it to the cat. Other than that it fits perfect.

This really shows my stupidity, what's a panard bar, but I don't hear any hitting or anything.
And actually before I use to bottom out over speed bumps, but now with the cat-back I don't.

Mark: It's a bar that goes across the rear end, it's stamped steel. If you get up under your car, look for a small bar going across. You should be able to twist it fairly easily by hand: That's how bad the stock one is. It's like GM just pulled it out of the crapper and threw it on there. It holds the rear end centered. There was someone on here that shattered theirs into 3 pieces - twice. It's kinda hard to explain where it is... I can't find a pic of it either.

I just got done putting on the exhaust. It sounds good. I have a question about the installation. What did you do about the bracket on the passenger side that holds the muffler up?

I believe the exhaust shop welded a hanger on.

The panhard bar (sometimes referred to as the track bar) is attached from the rear to the frame. All it does is prevent the rear from moving side to side. If you put an adjustable one on you can change the roll-center and improve your handling.
