    Trumpet exhaust question

    I have just changed rear valance panel in order to get GT exhaust fit. However, I wonder if trumpet tips have any pro/cons compared to straight pipe? Do the increase noise? Block HP? Generate sound?

    Time to upgrade exhaust

    The AOD 'crashed' with a edge on the AOD. I once read that finding the right position for the H-pipe is essensial. Makes me wonder: maybe use 2 H-pipes? My setup will be as follows; HiPo manifolds, 2" pipes with H-pipe, 2 Dynomax super turbo and rear pipes with resonators.

    Time to upgrade exhaust

    The H-pipe crashed with a metal frame on the AOD, so it was removed. Now that I am getting exhaust replasced, a new H-pipe must be made. Should it be placed infront of or behind the frame on the AOD?

    Time to upgrade exhaust

    I will keep it dual, but I will relocate and reinstall the H-pipe, maybe replace the headers with Hipo manifiold. As for removing the rear transverse muffler, I was advised to install resonators instead. What is difference between mufflers and resonators? - and what are resonators for?
