That's it, all she wrote, done and done! Drove her down open headers to the exhaust shop, and 8 hours later, she comes out with a new exhaust.

In all honesty? The Bullet Performance mufflers are WHISPER quiet. Quieter then I would have liked, but I am sure they will get a little louder when they break in. I went from stock manifolds to dual 2 1/4" pipes with blown out glasspacks to the new exhaust- Headers, 2 1/2" pipes with crossover and Bullet mufflers. I did give up a little low end. If anyone is looking for quiet and mellow, look these up.

Need to adjust the dual stabilizer up front, and retorque everything, and it's a go! Done and done. Winter project is over.

I will get some pics up soon. Thanks for everyone's help. It was an experience! Hope I can help someone else in the future the way you guys helped me.

With properly sized headers you should gain torque, not lose it. You might need to richen yout carb up a little.
