Changed my exhaust again

Went with 2-1/4" pipes from the headers to a dual 2-1/4" in single out 2.5" high flow cat and then the same as before out back 2.5"- a glasspack and flowmaster 80.

Mellowed it out quite a bit and totally eliminated the buzzing I was getting from 2500-3000 rpm's

Also gained back some low end torque on the butt-o-meter. Seems to jump off the line better now. Not sure yet if I lost any top end.

The mechanic thought I was a moron for putting a cat back on the car.
"you think you're going to gain power by adding a cat"

I think Harvey was right - you need some kind of expansion chamber for the low rpm exhaust plug to expand.
