If you remember, I had 2.5" pipes going into 2" mufflers. After installing the 2.5 mufflers, the car runs completely different. It felt like the car took a deep breath when I first drove it....so much smoother.

Tone? Well, the owner of the custom exhaust shop said, "It is too loud for me, but I like them quieter the older I get." His daughter works at the shop, and said, "I think it sounds amazing....very mean".

Another friend said, "it sounds like a Cobra should...aggressive and menacing."

It definitely turns heads and gets a lot of waves and thumbs up. I will take some pictures of the new set-up. He made the length and position of the pipes perfect at the rear.

I think the car sounds nearly identical to Colin's narrow-hip car. Colin said that his car has glass-packed mufflers that were installed in 1969. When he told me that, I knew I wanted that older/worn-out/free flowing glass pack tone.:

Having grown up in the 60s I do have a fondness for the old glass pack mufflers from that era. Thrush glass packs with the square ends were my favorite back then. Looking forward to a sound clip.
