Thanks for the compliment but I have always loved your car as well. Ever time I think of building the small block stroker, I starting thinking about the BB swap that you did. Just inspirational.

They look MUCH better in the pics than in the video, I repainted them.

I went with the stainless steel Hookers. Cost just a little more and you don't have to worry about rust. Also have STS baffles and SteelShields heat shields.
Here is a video that I made. I've since drilled a hole into the center cap of the STS baffles to make them a little louder, but I have not updated the video yet. Hope this helps . . .

Stainless Works. 3" with minimal baffles.
Added Dean's Steelshields last year. Need a better pic with them on. They make a big difference in both look and to keep the missus from burning her leg.

All of them look awesome.
What would it sound like if I use just a gutted pipe straight off the headers?
Its a 350 L48 with headers.

IMO, open pipes would be way to loud for an L48. The motor doesn't have enough compression to make it sound good. I've got Hooker Stainless with STS baffles in mine

Well, ok... Maybe a little stretch.
I always try to look on the positive side and be encouraging.
ps: The black and red is HOT HOT HOT!
