Lads,

I had run a nice under car dual exhaust with resonators only since 1997. As my kids don't listen, I'd have taken the fall with lovie for their 3rd degree burns. Even though the pipes exited the back, it was very loud on the highway.

I thought the side pipes would be louder, but the sound is wonderful. This has also completed the look of the car. Very pleased with the transition, although the custom headers were $$$, as I've run the pipes (2") and headers (1 5/8") into 3 1/2" collectors. No risk of leaks which plague the slip fit, with easy on and off.

Still exploring paint options, and Eastwood appears to be receiving most of the votes. If I go with the powder coating, I'll report on the outcome.

Thanks to all for the guidance....Denis
