Hey all,
Just a letter of advice when installing the True dual exhaust system for 80'-82' from Mid America Designs. Be prepared to make a trip to the local muffler shop for a little bending and tweaking of the pipes. I reused the mufflers (Monza Pacesetters) from the original exhaust system and could'nt make them line up for nothing. I even had my car on a lift to do the work. I finally got aggrevated enough to pay a muffler shop $50 to do the necessary bending and cutting to make 'em fit. But all in all, it was well worth the trouble. The system really made a difference. I could definitely feel a increase in acceleration, and the sound of the mufflers is totally awesome now.

Great advice Sarge. I was thinking about these "kits" and I'm sure others were too
