Smart man. Yes I am running a X pipe. Borla XS mufflers. But just bought some Borla XR1 mufflers. It is a 3" from collector back. And thank you I like how it sounds myself.

Forgot I want to apologize for the mess in the garage getting new wood looking tile laid downstairs for the wife. So that is why my garage is a mess.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

The crossmember I posted above does 64-88 C10. It's a direct bolt in. And you can use all the popular gm auto or manual trans. Nice setup. Just can't wait for it to get here. Ordered it yesterday.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Only thing left it to run new exhaust with X pipe and new Borla XR1 race mufflers. Going to tuck exhaust up and run it over crossmember.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

This X pipe setup is 100x better than before. Plus the sound of the Borla XR1 muffler is music to my ears!! Lol!
