New Pipes, New Power!

Got a new exhaust installed over the weekend. Nothing too fancy, dual 2.25 pipes exiting out at a 45 after the rear wheel. It has a nice stock look. Used some turbo multi-chamber mufflers to give it a nice growl without being too loud. I was shocked to feel the added power! I switched from a single exhaust to dual and it feels like a 10 to 15% increase easy! I also thought they used some pretty cool mounts that weld right on and have a low profile but still
have a nice rubber square in the center.

Yep, kept the manifolds. After all my reading, I think they will be just fine with my plans for this truck.

I had an 86 Vette and got talked into replacing my horns with some headers and after the nighmare of finding a set that fit and getting them installed i went to the track and ran slower than i did with the horns. The difference was minimal and may have had more to do with wheather conditions but i was none to pleased about the swap to say the least. I wont make that mistake again.

Nice plumbing, it looks like they did a great job, if you donn't mind me asking how much did you pay for it?
