Also Curt, remember exhaust velocity...my 3500 puts out less velocity now than it did with the factory exhaust (I did the full exhaust swap and not just a muffler swap), and puts out less than a 3800 for obvious reasons. The tone will sound deeper than what you heard from mine. *Scratches head for a second or two*...didn't you say you were gonna keep this a sleeper? Maybe go with a stock F-body muffler...you will get your flow w/o the noise that way.

Curt, Have you thought about a 2.50" in and 2 2.25" Outs( on the pasenger side ) like the 92-93 N10( Single side-Dual Outlet ) Optioned Bonnevilles... This way it will retain a stock apperance but a nice new sound? And I believe that both Flowmaster and Magnaflow have that configuration...

The constant drone doesn't bother me much...My hearing is pretty much shot, so things sound different to me to start with (I can't hear high frequency stuff) It'* kinda like having the bass turned way up and the treble turned way down on everything.
As to sleeper...It has to *look* like a stocker. Doesn't have to sound like a stocker (most of the victims have the stereo turned way up anyways

Sounds pretty good, not much louder than the stock muffler, with a little bit of burble to it.
I haven't dropped the center pipe to look up inside the exhaust manifold. Picked up the exhaust gaskets this weekend and figure on dropping the manifold over the Christmas holliday long-weekend.

Curt I'd be interested to see what you mani looks like... I have seen a few that were like mine...
If it is, and you clean it up you may get a deeper nicer tone out of it
