I used a SAWZALL on my stock exhaust.

I put glasspack, ceramic coated, type mufflers that I bought at a swap meet on after sawing off the old tailpipes with a SAWZALL and the old stock mufflers too.

I got a little more pull but the best was when I was at the liquor store (ha ha) This guy asked me if I had a 351 in it!

It'll sound more mean with the tailpipes sawed off, for sure!

The only thing...at about 1500rpm's, it will be extremely loud inside the car. You HAVE to have a kewl girlfriend like mine otherwise no one will want to ride with you. The load drone off the engine does get too loud for everyday driving. I'll be the first to admit it.

If you will drive this car on other than the track I would strongly recommend keeping some tailpipes on it!
