How loud will this be?

[mazur]

I don't think I saw this mentioned yet, but having a complete dual pipe exhaust should help with the noise and probably drone.

True, but its much heavier. I would go with a larger muffler, and another resonator (different length, same diameter) closer to the motor.

WOW! Do you have neighbors? Do they hate you?

BTW - That's a nice looking car you have there.

Well, I got the exhaust fixed today and it is quiet. Ahhhh. But it wasn't without surprises.

Maybe I'll start another thread about it next week when I get back home.

Again, thanks to everyone that replied to this thread. Your input was thoughtful and intelligent and I appreciate that.

bumping an old thread as I'm working on my exhaust redux project right now...

How much ground clearance does a system like that have where it passes under the subframe and half shaft?

I'm thinking mine might sit a little low there but it's hard to say with the car up in the air.

Pics of anyones setup would be helpful
