i find that if i rev it all the way out, to like 7500 and then decelerate, just letting off the throttle, at aroudn 5500 rpm there's a **** load of smoke and pops and flames...kind of cool to see at night...like a fog or something

No, I only pop flames when I shift above 7000rpm and also when my supercharger pulley wasn't getting enough tension and slipped, causing the car to run pig rich. Even then I only get like 6-12" flames. It's HARD to spit fire with true duals.

Update:

Even though I liked the setup from trainwreck. It hung too low for my car. I pulled into Fantasy Muffler and they pointed out that the two Magnaflows were too long to fit into the cavity that the stock Cat sits in.

I ordered a Dual/Dual oval from Magnaflow. I think that it has two inlets and two outlets but I think it can mix similar to a "Y" pipe. They took the Magnaflow and put it place and then mandrel bent all the other tubing to match up to the Magnaflow. It really looks sweet. The also took the time to build all the hangers to match up to the stock hangers and it all tucks up under the car really nicely. I didn't have pics but I'll post some later.

The Sound was a Bit Deeper but thats not all

The Low and the Top end have substantial gains. It really feels alot more responsive.
