I have a a 400+ CI stroker that's going into my car this winter and am curious what peolple have done and how well they liked the result. I elected not to go 180 degree but do have a nice set of ceramic coated headers with 3 1/2" collectors. I'd like to retain a traditional appearance from the rear of the car (angle cut and polished dual exit). I'm considering buying mandrel bent 3" diameter tube, welding up the segments, and using my GTS mufflers. I've seen Super Trapp set ups. They're good stuff but not what I'm after. Nor do the "Big Bores". I'm also looking into what Borla offers, reasoning that if I'm going to that much effort, I may as well go stainless, and ceramic coat the pipes, and have a good-for-life result. I know Marino at Pantera East has a stainless GTS system, but he didn't seem interested in breaking out the headers and mufflers or doing any variations. How do the "GTS" mufflers rate compared to others at comparable sound levels? Let me know what's been done along the theme I've described, and whether the results warranted the effort.
