Santa brings a dual exhaust with 4" tips
First and foremost I would like to thank WAJK for all of his help and advice. His input proved to be "right on the money" and the fit and sound was just as he said it would be.
I live in Omaha and we have a local muffler shop that has a tech that does many custom exhaust systems. Based on WAJK advice, I had installed a Flowmaster #53083. It has a 5"X10" case with one 3" input and two 2.5" outputs. The 3" input had to be modified. The Flowmaster muffler is not as wide as the OEM muffler, this caused the tech to use two simple custom mounts that were connected to the back of the frame.
The tech then pained the muffler with high heat flat black paint. The attached pics from under the car were before the muffler was painted.
We chose Magnaflow 4" Chrome rolled tips.
It has a very deep and throaty sound. I will post some sound clips after Christmas.
The cost installed was $370 including tax.
Thanks again WAJK!!
Merry Christmas to all!

Well thank you zhuskers. I'm glad you like it--because I think it looks awesome Exhaust can be such a personal matter because what sounds great to one may sound terrible to others. It also doesn't help that there are so MANY choices one can make with exhaust these days--it is nothing like when my dad opened his muffler shop in the 70's and all there really were to use were turbo mufflers and glasspacks(which are still a viable alternative today-especially to folks on a tight budget but who want some performance and sound.) In August I'll have been in the exhaust distribution biz for 15 years and it has changed even from when I first started and hopefully the manuf will continue to evolve. Good job again on your exhaust zhuskers!
