It was custom bent front to back by University Muffler in Norman. They ordered me the glasspacks with true 2 1/2" cores.

Less than $800 from Summit Racing for wheels/tires/center caps. The wheels are Cragar Nomad 2's.

The 2 1/2" exhaust was 290.00 complete including all new brackets dampers.

Ok here's my first shot at a video upload. It will sound the best if you have a sub on your computer!

Truth be known though, the exhaust sounds louder in the video than it actually is. But it does sound good though, you can barely touch the pedal and it sounds like a beast!!! I love the Big Blocks......

As a note, that video is with the secondaries on the carb disconnected. It's the original quadrajet running only on the primaries right now. When I hook the 4bbl back up I'll do another video to see how much difference there is in sound.

Yeah, my only regret is that the tires are not quite as tall as I'd like them to be. I really wanted that 295 in the back though. I also wanted it in a BFG T/A Radial but they won't put that size back into production until October of this year.
