Shaun,
Sounds exactly like what I did to my 95 V8 5spd. Mopar Perf (aka Doug
Thorley) headers. Which were a pain the you-know-what to install. 2
shadetree mechanics (me & a friend): over 9 hours to install! And we've done
this stuff (GM products only) before! The mounting holes absolutely did not
want to line up. Then a short length of pipe which dumped the exhaust right
by the axle. Wow! What a performance difference! And the sound is unreal!
Since it comes out UNDER the truck, you really got a lot of resonance INSIDE.
Not advisable for your grandmother's Buick, but if you love that loud V8
sound, you'll definitely love the sound you'll get this way. Of course,
you'll need to turn the stereo up a bit when you're on a date... :)
