That 3" looks huge I love it, are you going to keep the res or is straight pipe from headers to splitter?

Got a nice 3" SS Resonator off Ebay. Waiting for it to arrive by snail mail.
Install planned for Mar.13, a great way to begin Spring Break week.

No sound but I can view it. :?

After witnessing the difference between Bill'* car with and without the resonator, I choose a resonator.

I hope it sounds as good as it looks.

Nice shinny res

What mufflers are those? Are they 2.5" in and out? How long are they?

They are Magnaflow mufflers. 5" x 8" x 14". Very close to stock size but a straight thru design.
2 1/2" offset in 2 1/2" center out.

Keeping the stock tips? I hope

Speaking of, the tail pipes have some tricky bends from the muffler. Are you going to keep the stock tail pipe or have the shop fab new pieces?

Looking good, you'll have to grace us with a sound clip when the work is all done. Have you been running just stock exhuast until now, or just upgraded mufflers?
