I know how glass packs sound, thanks though. Car sounds good. What is the 'Vette?
I have a single glass pack on it now. Here is what I am going with: Headers; reducers; H-pipe; mufflers. Something I just thought of when copying the URLs, is the H-pipe going to be the right width? Also, when I get the pipe to run from the H-pipe to the mufflers, what size (diameter) do I buy to fit each?
I will spring for the new ESC then. It is $73.99 at my local Auto Zone. Does $25.99 sound right for a new knock sensor?

yea i was just showing how good they sound with 2 inch pipes
others was suggesting 2.5 and 3 inch and i think 2 inch sounds awesome
the vette is my dads friends, he had it in our garage while he was painting the nova
its a late 70's stingray
its nice

2" pipe is too small for a truck; you might as well keep the exhaust system stock. I personally think glasspacks sound like ****.

I just ordered my exhaust. See post #12 for links to what I got. Should be here in 2-3 business days.

Video and pics or it didn't happen!

Hehe, I'm excited to see the results, Chris. Exhaust is one of my favorite subjects. =]

I can take pics when it comes in, and after it is installed. Might be a week or so before it is installed. I don't know how to do a video. My digital camera does video, but loading it is another thing.

I beleive he said 2.5 inch and that is big enough for a small block. I have 2 and a half on all my trucks and they all sound good! 2 and a half is what most trucks run, with the ezception of diesels.

Yep, my truck is 2.5" to the Y pipe, where it goes to 3". Since I redid it, it now has 3" piping all the way to the "second" y pipe, where it splits into dual 2 1/4" pipes that go straight into chrome tips. I know that you are going true dual, but this is just a size idea
