    Yep check for the cone of silence and pulling the bullet will make it louder. Just having a closed cutout welded into my exhaust quieted mine down a lot.

    Makes me want to put mine on! Did u check and see if it had the cone where it enters muffler? Mine did and I cut it off. It reduces it down very small before it enters muffler was supposed to reduce noise some had it some didnt

    It has such a great tone, no snap, crackle or pop. Quiet but it's a good thing. I still have the dynomax bullet in the I pipe dice I didn't have any extra pipe laying around. I wonder how loud it'll be without it. I still need to adjust some things, tighten the clamps really good and add a hanger to the right passenger side.

    I'm going to see if I can find some finer steel wool. I used 00 I want to try at least 000. What's a good suggestion on some metal polish?

    I ordered a C6 knob. I found the company that makes them for fbodys. Does stock knobs fit on aftermarket short sticks? After work I'm going to get the wiring finished up on the t56 swap. Need to do the reverse lights, reverse lockout, and vss.

    Also ill try to get the exhaust on, I might need some additional tubing so we'll see.

    Thanks Michael! I think you may have just scored the best deal ever made on a stainless exhaust, and I hope you enjoy it! You'll have to give me a ride once you get it installed and the car is back on the road!

    2OTL is a great exhaust, but I LOVE my dual dual.

    2OTL is the best sounding exhaust for these cars IMO.

    Thanks guys!
    It feels like a completly different car.

    Some pics-

    My buddy after we cut the hole, he was in the car making sure nothing caught on fire.


    Figured it was a good time to install the driveshaft loop.





    Couple of questions, I want to get a c6 shift knob, what thread size, pitch do I need for my umi short stick?
    How does the 2otl sound?

    I want to por15 my undercarriage before winter.
