Tourist Trophy SS Exhaust

After the disaster with the peco header being uninstallable junk and me being tired of the p*** poor job the guy who installed the peco rear portion the first time causing major issues with exhaust leaks not to mention it hung way to low and drug constantly.

Pro's

Very very very nice looking system
Fit was excellent however I did have to spread the header about an 1/8th of an inch.
Bung pre installed for an o2 sensor
Nice and tight to the body
Installation was a piece of cake other than issues with the rear hanger being completely screwed up by the previously mentioned idiot. Once that was fixed it only took 2.5 hours to install with a good chunk of that time taken up by removing and replacing the carbs. One thing I did notice was unless your car is on a lift you wont get the header in from underneath however it will fit no problem from the top.
Cons

While it has a nice note and is quieter than the peco at idle if you romp on the gas it's got a great note but it's louder than the peco or the falcon big bore I have on my other car. However cruising in the city its quite pleasant and quite however on the interstate at 75mph and 4200rpm it has a deeper tone than a peco or big bore and may get tiring after a bit however until then the 18year old in you will LOVE IT.

Fantastic view of a windshield wiper but the sound is pretty much dead on.
