I'd have to say that the best sounding exhaust I have heard on a Tiger
belongs to James Theroux. He is using 2" pipe with Borla mufflers and
special resonator chrome tips at the rear (I believe Borla also). This
system is extremely civilized when just cruising but gives an incredible
sound when you get on the gas. It really crackles when revved and sounds
downright exotic at the higher rev ranges - it really screams. Sounds kind
of like an Italian exotic (though still a V8) up there. I'm pretty certain
that this will be my solution when I get around to replacing the exhaust.
In the meantime, my Flowmasters sound pretty good...
I know that James subscribes to the list, so maybe he will be willing to
provide a little more detail on what specific components he used.

Subject: guys....i was wondering
thanks guys...
A couple of questions:
Part one:
i am going to install a new exhaust system in my car....i have the 260 with
new intake and 4 barrel carb...the CAT club headers and was wondering
.....what mufflers i should get.
I would like it to sound:
throaty
classy
a tad racy
not too loud for long trips, but when i get on it...it sounds solid and
powerful
also...it would be nice to sound good when it's at itle
part two:
what kind of front shocks should i get (model # - size - where to purchase
them...etc.)
I want the car to feel tight, like a go cart, nice handling. It could be
stiff... i just don;t want it to be sloppy, bouncy
thanks gentalmen
