Default New exhaust

Thought I would start this thread a little early. Car is at the shop for exhaust install tomorrow.
New OBX headers and exhaust from the "Racing Parts Depot" on ebay. About $840.00 shipped.
Headers went to Swain Tech for their white lightning ceramic coating. They claim 30-50% heat retention. $320.00. Took a month to get them back.
Dropped off parts yesterday at the shop. Now I've been there twice to make sure everything would be ok. I've got parts in hand, the guy says "we could have custom built the exhaust". Would have been about price comparable, less pieces-more bent pipe. Today he says "If you don't like the sound, we can cut off the muffelers and try some different ones.
Look for a quality shop before you buy some expensive system on line.
Header gaskets from Jerry. And dipstick o-ring.
Dipstick relocation bracket from Paul Workman.
Air tubes will be leaving.
You can see daylight through every piece, the fake cats, resonator, and mufflers.
System has an "H" pipe just north of the resonator.
All polished SS. Although, now the headers have a spackled white finish.
Think that's all the majors. Will post more as I know more.

Dyno'd at 311 couple weeks ago, as soon as I can swing a Marc chip I'll dyno again.
Hopefully the car will be ready tomorrow.
I'll post as soon as I have more.
