One big-ol-puff on this mod…and I was off to exhaustville...
I finally pulled the trigger and got after it. I rolled with the Magna Flow system, all 3” stainless starting at the header and rolling all the way back.
The system also includes the Hi-flow cat, muffler and sweet polished tips.
When I got to the shop there was the car…and I looked down to see these 2 monster-ass tips going HELLO…I was like OMG what did I do?
This was a huge step for old school me…my buddy who did the work smiled and fired her up…I went from OMG to Oh Hell Yea!
I have to say the ride sounds wicked! Very throaty at an idle and low cruising speeds, and you can still hear the tunes just fine,
but when you hit the pedal…it just sounds mean as hell!
I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and change over.
What I had sounded decent; however it was a mish-mash of crap…stock muffler and tips from 83, and an old 90’s cat! And talk about choked down…good grief!
What a tremendous difference, you can just feel this…flow & power…and the sound…Perfect!
And those shiny monster tips are growing on me…
The TA was done and off the rack before i could snap some pics!
But it will be on the rack for the next project and i will get some pics.

I am going to give it a good wash down, break in the weather! I got caught in some yack coming home after the exhaust was done.
Hey let me know on Calamity...I love that place, first round is on me!
Bufflao Wings opend up over here, took the family last night, very tasty and good price!
