Wish you were closer as I'd love to help with exhaust. It's a fun project in my opinion. Work of art when done.

I wish you were closer too! Heheh! I usually get it really close and loosely install the U clamps, then take it to a shop to be welded up. It's been working really good that way for years, many systems, but it would be quicker if I had a welder/MIG/TIG.
On the GTO, the 3" splitters don't look right to me, so I will do 2.5 tailpipes and tips. Same with the 71 T/A, the hockey stick 3" tips just don't look right. Also, it has a 9", and the larger axle tubes make it near impossible to run 3" tailpipes. It's a 463 stroker, 315cfm heads, so think it will be much less of a restriction.
