wife loves the tone

I have been driving my 3.6 conversion some lately and everytime the wife is in the car with the top down she says it sounds awesome, this is from a person that could care less about cars, i have small tail pipes that Jack O suggested to get rid of rumbling, they look kinda small, i now have the 3.5 inch B&B tail pipes im just wondering how much louder, o by the way, 1 3/4 B&B Headers with a single out that we converted to dual out, any other tail pipe ideas?

she is right it does sound cool, the tuner cars seem to leave me alone, Kevin

Beutiful car

Tailpipe ideas....Very simply two 3" stainless steel pipes. Located in the same place where your current tips are, just a tad closer to the bumper. No fancy tip required. No angle cut required. Just purposeful pipes. It will sound better and look all business.

Jack o said the smaller diameter tail pipes make the difference which i believe, so i plan and try and keep the 4 inch pipe that leads to the tip, i was thinking maybe 993 style tips, Kevin

These are 3" stainless outlets. I used a DA (320 grit to clean up) and then metal polish. I polished the tips and cleaned up the whole muffler in about 45 minutes.

BTW - the dual in dual out muffler was made by mb911. It is LOUD. I'd probably go with his full baffle setup, which will still be LOUD, but not quite as bad.
