Found a local guy to make exhaust from headers to the rear used my regular mufflers and made it a true dual exhaust, sounds good. If you are anywhere near Harrisburg, PA i can hook you up.

Judging by his user name I would say he is from Minnesota. Try to find a local high performance muffler shop and have them bend you up a good system. Most of the pre bent ones do not fit right. Every car is a little different. Have them custom bend it for your car and it will fit and be rattle free.
