Default Exhaust centered, seperated, out the side, mufflers?

i want some opinions on exhausts that people have done, im putting a

body kit on my car (if the guy can ever find a box big enough to ship it)

and i am redoing the exhaust because it needs to be changed to fit my

highflow down pipes and my new trans mount for the manual trans. SO i

wanted to know what people have done and if anybody has any pictures

could the please post them!

I kinda wanted to do centered, because i havent seen that done very much, BUT i also wanted OTS that would be fit into cut outs in the dise skirts.

NEED OPINIONS GUYS

ronbros ....lawd..lol.


anyways id run the same route as usual with an x or cross pipe. There is no scavenging effect with an V12 but it combines the exhaust note and makes it sound a bit more like a v12 and not two 6s next to each other.

from systems ive heard I really like Borla and magnaflow mufflers.

flowmasters are for rednecks and children, they are only slightly above cherry bombs IMO

side pipes depends on your body kit..the stock body would look weird with sidepipes because of the gaps in the back made for the exhaust

well, guys i been running a sidepipe 16yrs,all 12 cylinders out of a 5" turn down thru two cherry bombs, and it must be me,its getting old,(loud), only sounds good at above 5000rpm under load.

for the side pipe guys, the rear valance openings could be covered with a piece of brushed aluminum,stainless steel screws holding them on.

but if i want to sell the car,i may have to go back to reasonable dual exhaust system, and i do like the sound of Magnaflows. got one on my GN, and that GM V8 sound is real nice,at startup idle,Deeeep burble, then quiets down on cruise, buts on full throttle comes on loud again,deep!!.
3" all the way.

not to be rude but glasspacks don't have to sound bad, there are tons of cars with different types of side pipe systems that sound good but 20 dollar cherry bombs frankly sound like **** on every car i have ever heard
