I think the only way to make exhaust tips really work on these cars would be to go through the trouble of adding exhaust cutouts to the bumper a-la Marauder.—John

With my system they would likely be much higher up and might work, but i haven't made up my mind yet. Entire exhaust system is just sitting in the garage right now after i tore it off the other car. So depressing.

Only problem is box panther parts may be rust free down here, but they're actually difficult to come by. There are very few of these cars in the local yards. Not sure why that is.—John

I'd guess it's because they're reliable cars that people don't junk if they're not rusted out and/or they've gone to people up north.

They're either still running around (like the Mad Marquis) or crushed. When they do pop up in the yards, they rarely last more than a couple of months (and maybe a week for the good parts). People hound those things like flies on shit. Not quite as badly as the hounding of LX sports for the Marauder clone crowd, but still.

One is a glass pack (straight through) and the other has baffles (chambered).

I guess just a little more throttly dont want it to sound like a rattle can or a drag car but im thinking’s since it’s going to have the headers and high flow cats might make it really loud. So the 3 chamber might be better also dont want it to be annoying on highway where most my driving is done. Didn’t you have magnaflow on yours sly

yeah... mine are glasspacks. I also have no drone because the pipes are shop crinkle bent and not exact mirror images of each other.
