I may ask for a change out to hooker 2151. after holding the headmans in my hands, I was not impressed. The primary leangths are way more unequal than I though and are pretty short overall.

I want 2 inch primary tubes & 4 inch collectors to fit a C4.

I want true Dual Ex of at least 3" inch ID.
All the way back to the rear bumper like I have on my 1970-1/2 Trans Am.

I put that car together in 1996 with that exhaust system.

Its 2011...............

Why the FICK is there NO such Ex system available for a C4 ?

Has to be made.

I will make it then.

Restriction is good for low end torque I still hear on C4 from others.

My ***.
