Ok, well its two months old, but I finally took a pic and got a video. I know some of you dont like Flowmasters, thats ok. The video was taken on a Fuji camera, so its not all that great. It is actually a little louder than the camera shows. I dont have a drone problem like some people have.
Setup: Doug Thorley tri-Y headers, 2.5" tubing, H pipe, 40 Series Flowmasters, turn downs after the axle. I built it all myself and all the bends are mandrel, not kinked muffler shop bends. Ya, I know its a little crooked, but I dont care!
I had to cut and piece the passenger side because the collector dumps at a 45* angle, not straight back. I used Headman S bends to clear the transmission crossmember and to tuck the exhaust up a bit. I also cleaned and painted the piping with high temp paint, I used an aluminum color. I still need to paint after the mufflers.

That's cool. After seeing yours with the H pipe I am pretty sure I need to move my mufflers back a bit so that I can fit one on mine.

You have lots of gas. ;D

Looks and sounds good bro.

that does look nice. I've contemplated doing my own in much the same fashion, but with an X pipe. I didn't notice any hangers aft of the mufflers, is that correct?

Correct, I only have them on the front face of each muffler. Im waiting to find something that I can make work because they are tucked up against the last frame crossmember.
