Just got the car back with the new pipes. Used 2 inch primaries into a collector down to 3.5" ID, then through the Howe Racing Mufflers and out at 90 degrees. Sounds incredible - I mean quality of sound is much better and the engine winds out noticeably faster than before - it REALLY uncorked the exhaust without too much loss of torque.

On another point, I am having some concern about the front control arms in my suspension. On both sides, on the top A-Arm there are a pile of fat washers bolted in on the leading edge that push the a-arm out. Other than the concern over a set up like that from a strength perspective, the a arm on the bottom is now pushing into the disk brake and is starting to wear into it.

Have you ever had a problem like this? Have you heard of anyone that has?
