There's been some issues getting the stock manifolds off, so the install has stalled some.

I'm getting as excited as an expectant father waiting to here how she'll sound when it's done.

ps...For those who care... the suspension and posi are being done at the same time...she's gonna be SICK!!

Running straights with cats, I can make it "Slap", when I want to, or keep it at low RPMs and have a low rumble. Occasionally when I cruising she hits that right tone, where you want to wear the ear plugs. and just think, I'm considering running straights, no cats, no mufflers.

my honest opinion, it's sounds to raspy with just pipes, I'm using a dynomax race bullet on mine now, it just clears it up some, doesn't really quiet it down at all

the new stuff is on top, the old ''quiet'' is on bottom

Broke one each side and one other was broke "from before" from driver side. They've never been off so I guess I'm counting myself lucky.
