Collector Muffler? How can this be done?
I think my current 2.25" exhaust system will be somewhat restrictive, and I was thinking of replacing the whole system with some type of muffler that can be bolted directly after the collector, and then using a 3" turnout to exit under the front of the door behind the front tire. Here's an idea:
Small section of 3" tube to connect collector to Dynomax Bullet, 3" mandrel bent tubing exiting at 45 degree angle at front of door before transmission crossmember with the end cut at an angle horrizontal to the frame rail.
This would make for a elongated oval exit that "I" think would look pretty good, and sound good as well. It would weigh less than the full system, and be a LOT less restrictive.
Ideas/inputs welcome,
Thanks! :cheers:

Gotcha covered!
For my 68' Camaro I seal brazed on some Stainless steel 3" collector ends I bought from Summit $30 some 10 years ago onto Borla silver bullit muffs.
After the headers, I put on the cutouts, then the muffs and ran 2.5" pipe out to the stock exit on both sides.
It sounds good.......... :D
Here is a pic of the parts
