I like your method, I want the mufflers not under the front seats and I don't want to invest a fortune in the reverse flow mufflers ($250) and the excellent AAR tips ( $275) for a 76 Volare 318 Roadrunner! Not sure where to find affordable of good tips. Looking at feebay, the descriptions are vague. I assume the cheaper tips are sorry chrome plated?, the more expensive one maybe stainless?, ..but I am getting on a path of action!!!!!
