    Thanks for the great picture. I 'am having the engine out service done and you know it's the time to upgrade the exhaust. I have a lot of very fast very loud cars and not sure I want another real loud car, however I really do want the power gains and that sweet ferrari sound. So I wonder if the test pipe ( pre-cat) and high flow cat or test pipe there to, with a stock muffler would sound good?
    It looks like your stock exhaust manifold were jet hot coated, are they? they look great.
    Thanks
    Daniel

    I took the pre-cats and removed the rusty tin outer shielding, hollowed out the ceramic matrix and then bead-blasted/coated them. Without the matrix, they will not get hot and therfore will not need the shielding to prevent grass fires. I also replaced the cats with test pipes. With the tubi, the sound is awesome, but perhaps a bit loud for most tastes.
