Finally got my new mufflers installed. So what does a $3550 (ea.) muffler look like ? see the picture. Bought these off of ebay, they were originally on a 2004 Ferrari 575M (with less than 10,000 miles) Had to do a bit of
pipe fitting to make them work (paid my local muffler center $10 to bend me 4 90's out of 2 1/4" pipe, after a whole lot of chop saw use and welding its done! My goal was to get rid of some noise (flowmaters) It is now almost too quiet. This will change when I hook up the little valves on the inner outlets (apply alittle vaccum they open up and you have open headers) Ebay price was a $190 plus shipping, ( a $6800 discount ) Reguards Bob PS next on the list is to install my aluminum heads to lose the new found weight.

That was a gutsy call that payed off! The guys with V-8 cars know what you up against designing an exhaust system thats quiet. Now you can go fast quietly. I love it !
