Here is a picture of the exhaust I fabricated a while ago. Only painted now as it is hidden behind my full lowers. Some judicious hot wrenching, as seen to have it fit nice and tight under the motor. I really liked Krassh's powder coating on his stocker and might consider that also. Power is at least not diminished, by on road testing and might get better with the new flash I will be getting soon. I made this mostly to get the "right sound" and hit it perfect with the turbo muffler and a "www.carchemistry,com" insert. Stock pipes flow into a collector and then 2 1/4" pipes to muffler and outlet. Still awaiting a dyno and I will try and get a sound clip but really sounds nice without being too loud. I'm likin" it.

I bet that sound cool. Finish is a little off, tho. How are you mounting it?

Rob, I agree finish is not as good as I would have liked but it is hidden. Mounting is a stainless clamp on the headpipe with a strap to the front stock muffler mount holes on the engine and at the rear a strap all the way around the muffler and to the stock rear muffler mounting holes.

I just got tired of waiting for some manufacturer to give me what I wanted so I tried it myself.
