So today I had my exhaust done. My father felt it was better to be seen and not heard, I on the other hand feel the opposite it is better to be heard then seen. So from the crossmember back was replaced. Originally it was to be from the manifolds back but the piping was still good and i wanted to save some coin. The rundown is no cats, glasspacks and turndowns. So here is some pictures and a short video.

Not sure why but it sounded like it may have had a manifold leak

Yeah, I kind of thought that there is an exhaust manifold leak also. I would need to hear it a little longer to be sure.

Manifold leak maybe. You could hear that! Crap. I'm lucky to hear the rumble.
It sounded nice to me.
I may have to start mine do a walk around and post the sound.
