Nice! Now I haven't been around alot lately, but I remember back when this was first being discussed and one of the issues was heat and the proximity to the gas tank...Has this issue been resolved or was it never an issue?

Sweet looking setup, ballplr!!!

As mentioned before, my biggest concern with taking the leap would be the proximaty of the fuel tank and fuel line back there.

GM sure wasn't thinking of possible aftermarket dual exhaust setup when designing the fuel line and take.

BUT LOVE WHAT YOU DID THERE!!!

Looks nice. Did you go with Magnaflow or Flowmaster?

Never heard of them. How do they sound? Decent rumble, howfully not that fart pipe sound. Still looking for a good setup for mine.

They do sound a little like a fat can but I don't think you can really get away from that with a four cyl. engine. I'll try to get a sound clip up sometime this week. Although I have never done that on the internet before but I'll try

That is my biggest fear. I cannot stand the honda, toyota sound that every high schooler is running around with. I know that it will never rumble like a V8 but I will leave it stock before I have the other.
