Thanks for the posts everyone. I realize I'm a little outdated, I don't think I've been in here since last summer.

The problem I see with the mid-mounted flowmaster setups mentioned in the vids is that the cross-pipe of the H-pipe is too long, and creates a trumpeting type sound like it's trying to pop, but instead sounds like a sheet of roofing tin being blown in the wind.

My BBK shorty headers with my Bassani street mufflers did the trick for me.

there are a few pll with mid mounted flows maters sound pretty good but you can get a nice sound out of our cars you just have to get the right setup

There are many frustrating things about the S197, and exhaust design is number one. I should've bought a New edge and saved a lot of money and headaches. Then again...I didn't know anything about either car at the time.

Yea but then it would take a new edge with full bolt ons to be in our stock range...so you give up the nice sound for more powah...always look on the bright side.

Well, what do I need all the power for? I don't race. I'll gladly sacrifice some hp for a good sound.

get some bigger cams, that will give you a nice muscle car sound. The pypes mm really open up the sound of the 3V, which is what I like. I bought a 3V not a 2V

Spintech's are ugly as heck but I have them on my '82 Corvette and they sound deep as hell.
