    On my Sprint, I dualed it out. Started up by the transmission, spliced into the exsisiting pipe. Put in 2 turbo mufflers, ran a tailpipe on each side of the gas tank with chrome tips. Sounded good for a 200 cu in. Even the guys at the Midas shop were inpressed. Hope you can see them in the pics....

    Dan,

    They did do a nice job. I have bent many custom exhausts. Mild to WIld. It can be very trying at times. I had a customer win best custom exhaust at a large car show in my area. The best part was that there was not such an award until they saw my handy work. Think along the lines of the Munster Mobile:) I half assed mine on my car. I plan on redoing it in Stainless Steel this time around and having it all HTC coated. Figure on $1200.00 and thats me getting whole sale pricing on the parts,:90:

    That is dirt cheap for that muffler.
    I probably would have charged more than that for that job, but it would have included the muffler. (and I charge a lot more than that for those mufflers)
