This guy Dave in the next town over from me has is own shop. He does custom exhaust, roll cages and other stuff for dirt track guys, local drag guys and circle track guys. He did my exhaust and made a custom h-pipe that sounds sweet . when I do my 347 he is going to build the custom long tubes for it.

I've got full bassani. Midlength headers that only bassani X will fit. Would have to get them cut and made also. Gotta can those mufflers first.

Also the R came with an x pipe stock.

So it's the same as your original setup but the high flow cats are less restrictive... And not illegal like the o/r pipe. It seems so simple now. Haha thanks guys!

I believe that technically even the high flow cats are illegal in that it is illegal to remove a properly operating factory catalytic converter from the car even to replace it.
Or so I've been told. But I don't see how that's even remotely enforceable.
