JMO, of course. The only opinion that matters is yours.

Dont take offense to this, but i didnt know you were going for that look on purpose.I thought you were just stuck in the 70's and lived back east somewhere.Then i saw your in So Cal.????????

I am originally from NYC, and moved to SM 18 years ago. I learned to drive and got my licence when I was 32. Debbie is my first car and has been through several looks so far, including all stock complete with polyglass tires.

If performance is the issue, but chrome pipes don't fit in, dual glasspack application under the car dumping in front of the tire is still a great choice as long as you choose a longer muffler.

Also, I don't have a crossover H type pipe. I don't know that it would make a difference with straight-through exhaust since there's virtually no back pressure to deal with.
