Since the Y-pipe was too short, I wonder if the Y-pipe from megan racing would bolt right up?

the megan would bolt up. but since I was going custom already we decided to use it. all it took was a torch and some elbow grease to bed it the way we needed and paul ran a custom y-pipe to it. why spend more if you don't have to?

thanks. but there are far more nicer rides than mine on the east coast. I look up to all of them for ideas, advice, and mentorship.

Very nice . Great job picking out the mufflers, I like those a lot. The sound is so much better too. It looks and sounds like a GS' exhaust should, powerful yet refined and elegant.

thanks. it does get a little raspy towards 5000-6000 rpm. and the glass packs haven't been broken in yet. under 4000 rpm it sounds wicked, deep, and powerful.

Love the story and the pictures. Exhaust work look and sound great. Maybe you can have your bodyshop fill in some of the space on the rear bumper since they're painting it?
