nice work with the exhausts, they look like they wont be a restriction!

i quite enjoy making exhausts, when you can easily get to the spot that is!

so many burns LOL sucks to have to use mandrel bends and lots of welds but its the easiest way at home .not many restrictions here twin 3" with flowmaster copies .you look inside them and they only have 2.5" holes in the baffles for the main route through the muffler but man they sound awesome even on a v6 buick LOL.once shes running ill get the crayon out and find out where the sound waves are crashing back on each other in each pipe and add a balance pipe i think

Wow you don't muck around, much further back and you won't need a driveshaft, keeping the front wheels on the deck might become a problem too. :lol:

keep in mind too, if you want to run that flywheel cover which bolts to the rear of the motor it will change things a bit!
