So I did not realize what a project this was until completed. It went through about 4 different stages
and I would say about a week of work total non stop.
I learned a lot since my welding and fabricating skills needed improvement from the first time.
Stainless was a pain to Weld,
but finally got it to the point of a decent weld, design and implementation was also a problem
with bends and curves and adaptation to different size pipes. The 3 inch diameter no one wanted to bend
stainless so had to purchase pipes and cut to various angles and weld. I Wanted a particular sound so I did not
want to spend the 3k for a fabricator to make the exhaust for me since then I would not want to change it.
But in the end it was exactly what I wanted as far as sound. The surprise was the configuration and the sound
out the back.
The first time was just terrible the second attempt was the ok but still to loud, the real surprise was the H pipe I
put in the front of the mufflers that made the whole thing perfect. It took the sound down about 75% and yet
gave that good note on full accel and a good idle tone. The whole system is straight through no restrictions just
playing with resonances and engine pulses and sound waves to quiet the exhaust note. With the open headers
you cannot sit in the car literally, its so noisy that everything shakes and vibrates. Cannot even see out the
rear view mirror it shakes so bad. Now on start there is a growl, cruise is quiet, step into it and it roars nicely.
