Thanks to a couple of recommendations, I went ahead and coughed up the
cash for a Falcon stainless steel system. I was somewhat leery of the
fit, but it went in completely painlessly. Only took about 2.5 hours.
I fired it up last night about 11:00, and man does it sound good!
Like a different car. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. The
wife was already asleep when I started the car, and I asked her this
morning if she had heard me, she said no.
Also, the old exhaust, when I started the car in the garage (with the
garage door open), the garage would quickly fill with exhaust fumes.
The old exhaust, decidedly non-original, ended in front of the rear
axle, and had a couple of holes in the Y-connector. The new system
extends all the way to the rear bumper, just like in the pictures. I
ran the car for about 5 minutes, and apparently all the exhaust fumes
went out the tailpipe and out of the garage. There was hardly a hint
of exhaust fumes in the garage. What a concept!
So, is this list dead or what? I guess everyone's at the VTR
convention....
