New Exhaust (on 1st Gen)... audio recording!
Check it out... I dont have any pictures yet of the complete system, but here is the tail end of it:
It is 3" mandrel bent stainless steel tubing with a high flow Magnaflow cat and 14" SS Magnaflow muffler. When I get it up on a lift I'll take some full pictures. I was very careful to make sure the exhaust did not hang below the bottom of the car at any point. The muffler and turn down are both hidden up under the car so as not to draw any visual attention. It ended up being louder than I wanted, so I may try a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler, but until then, I'm enjoying it :-).

Thanks guys. I posted this stuff because I had nothing to base my decisions off of when I was deciding on size and muffler for the car. Hopefully this can act as a reference to someone. When I try the Dynomax muffler, I will record the exhaust again and post it here for a comparison... and maybe even get a recording of the exhaust with no muffler.

Five years later......sounds great.....can even hear the turbo! Nice install, my Shelby Charger will have twin turn downs to hide it the exhaust tips and give it some stealth from those looking for street racing profiles....

I think Brian Catts makes some of the best Exhaust components I've ever worked with....Functional art!
Cattman Headers (I ceramic coated)
Catbacks Oem vs 2.5" vs 3" (Cattman)
Rear Mufflers 2.5" vs 3" (Cattman)
Rear view of 3"(Cattman)

honestly i dont know why ppl put a 3in exhaust on a N/A 6 cylinder engine for it has no purpose and get no more gain then a 2.5in, a turbo benefits more from a 3in.. it like when i see N/A hondas with a 3in pip im like wtf loud *** ****, all they did thier is get rid of the lil tq they have at the low end and made their **** louder. a 2-1/4 would be good.... but that my opinion .....

I don't think I can go with the 3" cattman. My 4th gen S/C'er had 3in exhaust and I was loosing my mind with how loud it was.
So far I'm happy with my Megan Racing OE-RS (the deal was tough to pass up...but I wish I got a 2.5" cattman).

well i know about the low end tq, but we ar running high tq engines stock and 6 cylinders but just saying for the 4 bangers and low tq engines that do loose tq at the low end with a 3in exhaust... i see ppl swapping out cat backs but still retain the restrictive cat (2 something incher) why not swap it out for a free flowing cat?
