I went and got this done twice this morning. The exhaust is a lot louder due to it being right behind my head, but the highway speed droning is reduced significantly. I previously had the YoDude dual exhaust which did not flow as well do to the turns and then having the exhaust run smack into a "Y" for the dual exit. This new exhaust cost me a little bit of torque, but I recieved some gains above 3k rpm. I am still getting used to the new look. I can't wait to see the emmisions inspectors face when he crawls under the rear of my car looking for a tail pipe.

Ray's Custom Exhaust in M'boro did the work. The tip is beveled and I couldn't get a straight camera shot because the house was in the way. And yes, it is single exit. Duals would have been too difficult and restrictive. My mind is more performance oriented right now.

That looks really f-in good. Can you get some more pics?

The tip on the close up above looks a little funky cause of the angle. Kinda Looks like someone beat the crap out of it with a rubber mallet.

Do you plan on cleaning up the cut on your your side skirts any? It looks like the cut is a little uneven.

I'll move my car after I wash it and get better pics. The right rear was on jacks when I took the previous pictures. As for the tip looking beaten, the edge is beveled and the end has a little bit of a "u" shape to it. The tip is 10" long and the rear 3" had to be flattened somewhat to keep it from laying on the frame of the car. The shop heated it up and pressed it in about 1/4" for clearance.

Not if it is behind the last passenger. And there is no threat of someone getting burned, because my side skirt sticks out further than the tip does.
