Almost done....just need to have them ceramic coated. I went with a 3.5" outer body/2.5" inner bullet-style muffler from CCE. They are the unpacked glass-pack style muffler. It gives the tone of an older glass-pack.
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.:
