HeHe. Thanks Ken! The insurance Co. paid off for the accident, so I banged the sheetmetal back in place myself and am spending the money on more goodies Big aluminum RAD (with polished tanks, of course!) pulleys, etc. More underhood bling is on the way.
Back to the thread topic.
What superdad is going through is EXACTLY why I'm terrified to replace the back of the exhaust. Some of the guys are telling me that the stock single pipe and mufflers are too restrictive, but it doesn't seem to be (I lost three pound of boost at the top when I installed the resonator). And the sound is spot on with the stock mufflers. Too many guys spend $300-$500 from the res back and then HATE the sound, even if it does flow well

If I had to do it again I would have probably just replaced the front end of the exhaust system, including the resinator, then hooked up somewhere with the stock system. Good news with this new exaust system I have now, I seem to have gained a couple of extra pounds of boost, (odd, I thought I would loose some boost with the free flowing exhaust).
