Did you install them yourself or take it to a shop? Because I'm going to have to have some pipe bent and welded to hook up to the JBA mid-length headers, I was thinking of just taking the whole box down to the exhaust shop with the car and saying have at it. Doing it in the driveway just seems like the hassle factor outweighs any of the fun. Your thoughts and experience on the install? Oh yeah, did you use the turn downs that exit just in front of the valence or ... ?
well, honestly, i got halfway though taking the stock manifolds off, when my dad said since im getting my exhaust worked, i migt as well get the mechanic to put the headers on then
Oops, sorry. I was wondering if Galactusz installed the Magnaflow exhaust himself or had the shop do it.

Of the two that Magnaflow has for your year, p/n 15816 (2.5" kit) is the closest for your app. Frankly, for a bone stock 302, a 2.5" may be larger than you want. Get the 2.5" and throw in a new cam, heads, intake, headers and carb while you're at it.

i want my exhaust to sound like this

http://www.magnaflow.com/04sound/domestic/shelbyl.htm

is this the kind of mellow tone your talking about mojoe?

i have full length super comp hookers for my headers
more or less....i'd be curious to know what the tubing I.D. is on that shelby though...it sounds like it has smaller 2 1/4" tubing...usually with 2 1/2" or 3" piping through the center of the exhaust system, the tone is a little deeper than that (could just be the recording quality tho).

and fastback....as far as staying with magnaflows...unless you're planning on a cam and some more engine mods, I would stick with the magnaflows for now...even if you get headers....you'll be happy with them.
[8D]i have a mild lunati cam with a weiand single plane intake, and super comp full lengthhookers

what would be the best non droning sound muffler?
It depends again on your preferences. If you want obnoxious loud, I would go with flows. supposedly the super 40's are a little raspier than the original 40's, and if im not mistaken, I don't think interior noise is as bad on the super 40's as it is on the regular 40's. My girlfriends dad has super 40's on his 454 chevelle and it sounds wicked.

Bring it and a 12-pack of Guiness over and we're good to go. Of course, you'll have to watch the three kids, maybe four by that time (due any day).

A buddy of mine installed them.
