I really love it. I was at a car show yesterday and there was a salesman from the Chevy dealership where I got my car. He noticed the exhaust and loved it. Was also impressed with the intake.

I need to bring the car in to check on brake chatter. I will see if the mechanics notice.

Looks good LEE - nothing new there. Just wanted to add thought to your dual exhaust by stating there ARE "Y" pipes (not sure about "T's") on the market that have an ELECTRONIC solenoid that actuates the blockoff plate!!! Talk about trick!!! Flick a switch and your runnin' straight through's? Flick it back and it's back to stealth?
Nice work... just some food for thought. Can't tell by the pic's if the 'T' that's in there now is bolted, or welded, in place.

It is welded. I checked the electronic ones, and they are expensive. Plus, the collector and block off plates are easy to reach. And, with my system, and can have partial open exhaust.

Looks sweet Lee. Should sound something like my functional sidepipes when you have it opened up. You'll notice a difference when you go from the muffler to just open free exhaust.
Good Job!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aside from the noise what do you mean by "you'll notice the difference?"

i also have dual exhuast and it pulls harder and accelerates a lot better. waiting on the underdrive pulley in the mail, then intake next stop tune see you in the high 13's after that.
