Stainless Works has a set of cat backs. I think LG was also going to make a set. Corey in NB can also make the complete exhaust system in 3inch.

He does custom welding and he has done a set on a Z with a MTI 422 with B&B PRT and that baby sounds wicked, why I have not went the 3" route yet, until I get a C6 that is

Yup, I am going to upgrade when ECS gets back from vacation to the new bracket they are making to support the DS1C and go 8 rib and pulley down to a 3.70

Wife hates the C5 to noisy, to fast, and rides terrible

Mandrel bends that are cut and welded to make the curve. He did one using the B&B PRT mufflers. I do not think the mufflers did much good. It is very loud.

Our machinist didn't want to take off the week so he can catch up on stuff, I'll e-mail him to get a set of brackets ready so they can ship out as soon as we get back on Wednesday.

thanks!

Does it sound like the "PRT" systems, or like straight pipes?... IMHO the PRT's are loud but have a better growl and no drone unlike just straight pipes, I dunno, I don't think I've ever heard straight pipes on a Corvette Thanks for your input Happy New Years Arnold

They are as close to running cut outs as you can get, on the 422 it just roars and I think I will go the LG route as the PRTs were louder than I want, and Corey or Arnold do not want me to put my cut outs on so a 3" is a good solution
