I am just wondering if you take the Mufflers off and just go with straight pipes out the rear. If you have any issues with that modification. I have heard some of the Luminas and other GM cars that might have done that and they sound a bit (tinnnyy).
I want to avoid that little Muff sound that they put on a little ricers.
With the V-8's I have had they always had some Bark when you put a glass pack on it. A buddy of mine had a 67 GTO 400/ 4 spd. and he rebuilt the engine and then put headers on it and Pipes Straight thru to the rear bumper. That was loud and he got a fix it ticket for it one night.
But it sounded great.

 

That's pretty good that we have basically the same set up...

On a V8.. I always preferred glasspacks in place of the mufflers and then tails all the way out (Unique) sounding!

Heres what I have considered...

Put a glass pack.. in place of the resonator and run the pipes/ tails all the way out..
I may just switch it up... If I can get it repaired and back to normal after last week someone sideswiping mine..

But I like the Tips! (I have the sameones currently as well..

 

I am sorry to that you got sideswiped.
I am thinking about the tips that have the bowtie shape or maybe even the double bowtie shape. thanks for the input.

 

I had bowtie tips at one time...
Had I known..I should have gotten the larger ones.
they would have filled out the cutouts in the ground effects better.

 

Ohhhh those are cool!!

 

If you are going to do straight pipes out the back defiantly get a glass pack where the resonator is, I heard if you don't it just sounds bad.
