I had a local guy in Baytown ,TX do the exhaust took some work to get through the torque arm but he managed to get it done. All 3" and we used four magnaflow bullet mufflers and ran it out the back.

I had Billy Whatley at Motorsports Technologies (MTI) tune the car. We struggled with lot issues in the beginning but he managed to get it all dialed in. He is going to retune it in couple weeks once get some miles on the motor. It made 436 rwhp going through the 4l80e and bolt on ls7 am happy with that for sure.

The car is on the road been driving last couple days since we had great weather. I have one of the best mechanics he does great work he is honest really appreciate all he did for me to get this car on the road. Has been a long process of trial and error but am happy to get through it all.

I am going to save for paint due to so far over budget on this car never know what you buy until you take all a part. Glad I know now it is a solid car and have replaced just about anything I could. Put all the stereo stuff in it last night so will try get some pics of that but other than that this is how the car will be till can afford to paint it. I already have all new quarter panels, trunk, and know where some new doors our may purchase just want make the car look slick when I do paint it when ever that may be. Anyway thanks for everyone else on the board who have answered my p.m.s and questions for this noob. See you on the power tour or cruising the coast!

Wow just went through your build thread and love what you have done to it. She looks bad a$$. Don't worry about the paint. Trust me your gonna have way more fun and be way more relaxed cruising it just the way it is. Besides it looks outstanding just the way it is. Now go leave some black marks every chance you can lol.

Great job on this! Car looks great, and 436 to the wheels is certainly no slouch. Just in time for great weather, enjoy it!

Nice work. How does the car sound? I have been contemplating adding a second set of straight thru mufflers at the tailpipe. I have flowmasters ending before the axle and its not very conducive to conversation inside the car on the road.

Car turned out great. Enjoy the hell out of it.

Nice meeting you yesterday at Royal Purple / Viper Nationals. Good to put faces to names. Car looks like it's come a long way and the stance/wheels are PERFECT.

Keep plugging away, it's looking nearly complete! Enjoy it a while before putting it in paint jail, and if you need a local recommendation, let me know.

It did quiet it down quite a bit and buddy of mine rolled doing 70 with windows down could still hold conversation. With them up is very quiet for 3" exhaust.
