Well I finally got around to doing the exhaust. This is stage one as I'm not going to do the second part until I install the Jose SHOrt Shifter and rod shift. On the car were the original mufflers...though still quiet, they had some rot finally appearing. I have state inspection so I figured I'd get the muffler situation remedied now and then finish the rest in the next few weeks. I'd like to install a performance Y pipe at that time, but we will see how funds are.
The initial plan was a single supertrapp out the drivers side/rear. 2.5" from the Y with an 18" glasspack style muffler for a resonator then to the supertrapp. Looking at different options and reading up on muffler theory etc etc I decided that dual muffler would be a quieter solution while maintaining flow. I don't want QUIET, but I figure the duals would reduce rasp better than one. So currently it's still running the stock resonator and new pipe from there back to the two SS Supertrapps. The mufflers are good for about 250 HP each so I'm covered for a while LOL.
and a small video clip of the sound...interesting point here, I've always loved supertrapps (I know I'm a minority) but aside from at idle, these sound JUST like my old SHO SHOp Stainless mufflers I had on my old '89. I mean uncanny. I'll try to get a driveby clip in the next day or two.
Performance-wise the car feels snappier (I have a few other odds and ends done to it...nice to see it all playing nicely together...)
