Finally fixed the exhaust
 
So for the last year and a half or so I have been running what I liked to call my ghetto dump. After 9 michigan winters my exhuats rusted right after the y pipe and I had to cut it all off so what I had was 2 cats and a single exit right below the arm rest. That combination makes for a very loud interior sound not to mention a shit ton of rattleing. Saturday I took it in to a place a friend reffered me too and for $200 They cut right after my cats gave me straight pipes back to the mufflers and some nice chrome tips. They did it all in about 1 1/2 hours then while the car was in the air a dude hung on the pipes to show that they did not flex an inch it was pretty crazy I think I got a pretty good deal and the car sounds great.

When I walked in and talked to the guy he said "let me guess you want it to sound like a GT" I said "If you can add two cylinders sure but as long as it has six I'm fine with it sounding good for a six" He grinned and said that's what he wanted to hear cause he was sick of guys with v6 stang coming in and expecting to roll away with GTs.

I can already tell I've gained about 2 mpg from the less restrictive exhaust so that's a nice bonus

God you were running an open Y-pipe, that had to suck ass for a year.

It's amazing the annoying sounds you can get used to

what I have now sounds like heaven by comparison but I think overall it sounds good and low at idle and at WOT it's not raspy and I never hear any poping or shit like that
