Well people the title says it all. I don't have the car back yet because he is also rerouting the brake lines(the headers were almost touching them). It sounds amazing. Probably the best exhaust I have ever heard. It even sounds better than a Vette IMO.
All the work was performed by Klay at:
Straight Pipes Plus
301 11th Street
Dewitt Iowa
1-(563)-659-2070

He is able to mandrel bend 3" pipe on location. He made my entire setup except the muffler.

Mandrel bent and fabed Y pipe
3" all the way back
3" in dual 3" out Xlerator muffler

He is very knowledgeable with 14 years expierence and A.S.E. certified.

So give him a call if you need work done.

The MONSTER will be home soon so be scared.

 

How much did the exhaust run you?

 

Only 450 bucks. Im still amazed at the price.

If I were to buy the Heddman Y pipe for 100 and the Flowmaster catback at 330 and buy more pipe for the I pipe at 35. The total with shipping would be almost 550 bucks. That doesnt even include the many hours of labor. The quality of materials and installation I would have been willing to pay hundreds more.

Also the Flowmaster muffler only had 2 1/2" outlets on it.

 

Not bad, $450 isn't bad for a custom exhaust setup. Specially if its all mandrel bent.

 

Are you running full length headers? Can you post a pic of the underside of the car?

 

Right now I am running Heddman shortys. I will have pic's next time its on the lift(about 2 weeks). Gear work is next. I will have updates as it's being done.

 

long tubes are a pain in the *** and they won't win any horsepower, the heddman's are nice tho.

 

All dyno tests I've seen show that the long tubes increase peak HP, while giving up some low end torque.

 

Can't deny that, but look at the rpm's where the hp is picked up, shorties keep the low end torque and have pretty comparable hp numbers down where it counts on a street car. My comment wasn't entirely accurate though, what I should of said was that lt's are a pain in the *** and they won't win any noticable hp on a daily driver.

 

They got that nice 60s muscle car sound though thats why I like em!

 

i always thought the long tubes kept low end torque over shortys.?.

 

basically YES!

Long tubes are almost always the best way to go, but on thirdgens they are a pain to install, not to mention shorties are cheaper.
I'm running shorties on the RS, but I'm getting long tubes for the truck, I need to keep the torque

 

yea, i did have that bass ackwards, shorties and mids make more power above 3500...
