get an o/r xpipe (i got bbk) depending on what kinda headers you have get the x or h pipe that matches so you know for sure it will fit. then just put short mid-pipes on and dump the muffler before the axle.

i have dumps on mine for about a year and a half and its getting alittle iritating. its so damn loud inside the car and if you drive around to long with the windows up i start to get a killer head ack. im looking forward to puting some tailpipes on. also the sound will be from behind me instead of under the back of my seat.

Definitely put some turndowns on it, you dont want the heat from the exhaust right on your fuel tank and lines. When you put them on, angle them down and out towards the sides of the car. Not quite as drony and loud in my experience

i just installed mac pro chambers and cut the flanges off the outlet side of pro chambers and welded a slp loud mouth resonator on each side and bought two turn downs from auto store and welded them in on each end of the resonators. i turned the turndowns out. looking from rear left side is at 8 oclock and right side at 4 oclock. its just right if you ask me.

No turndowns here... I dropped my tank to do a battery relocation kid and I have to take off two pieces of the exhaust (its an SLP 4 or 5 piece). I put the tank up and never put the rest of the exhaust on and started it up, sounded GREAT. Its been off ever since
