New exhaust

I just got my exhaust complete today, I had everything complete right up to the axle, I took it to a local shop to get the pipe bent to go over the axle.

I have old RB headers(from about 1988)modded the headers to collect right after the header into a 3" pipe, then a spiral flow, midpipe into a flowmaster(#943051).

It's loud, but not as loud as it was with my old POS dynomax muffler and two presilencers. I can actually talk on my cell phone while crusing at 70mph. I'll post pics as soon as I get a chance. I'm pleased with the sound. I'll let you know if I have any problems with the flowmaster(others have said it wouldn't hold up).

3 " sounds great if you can drive w/ it. Can you live w/ the loudness where you can't even hear the engine?

still no pics, been traveling too much. I'm in Orlando FL right now at a veritas class. I won't have to travel for at least 3 weeks once I get home from this trip, but 3 weeks worth of expense reports to complete.

That's my plan, I didn't want to do the exhaust now, and then have to re-do it when I did turbo.

Here are the latest pics of the exhaust:
