[Shotimes] exhaust thoughts. Help!

[Justin Schick]

I ran a single outlet exhaust on my 92, loved it and got regular
compliments. I used a 3 chamber Flowmaster for a muffler, and tried
running it without a resonator first. That didn't last but a couple days
and I had a long glasspack grafted into the system. I just couldn't live
with the weed whacker sound.

Unless the shop can do mandrel bends, I'd buy them ahead of time for
the shop to use. The bends around the gas tank are just too severe for
crush bending.

I just got the '89 back from Doug Lewis with a greatly improved 
suspension, a few more HP and a bunch of changes in the exhaust.

Seems my old original SHO Shop Y-pipe cats didn't survive all the dyno

testing (and all the track miles and highway miles could have had 
something to do with it) so Doug cut out the cats and also the
resonator 
that came with the Rod shifter conversion all those years ago, it also

gave up the ghose.  The cheap generic turbo mufflers out back also are

coming apart, so right now I have basically straight through exhaust 
with religious turbo's in back (holey!)  :)

I have been thinking for a track car, why have two heavy mufflers 
hanging out back, and am considering having the local shop make a 2.5"

single stainless exhaust to one muffler.

I have been trying to think if I want to put any sort of resonator in 
the stock location (cherry bomb etc) or leave it out.  As a pretty much

pure race car, I want some noise, but also want to be able to drive it

on the street to a local cruise in, without getting stopped all the
time.

Have considered a single Bullet Turbo out back, or maybe a straight 
through sport type muffler with a nice tip on it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
