I'd initially decided on dual Flowmaster 40 series DeltaFlow mufflers all the way out to 2" tips. Then I thought about the resulting sound and the cost. To achieve the deep near v8 sound I wanted I would have to have a balance tube or crossover pipe added to help blend the exhaust notes. That would only add to the $300+ tab for the cost of the Flowmasters.
I decided after listening to some online sound bits of straight sixes with true split dual exhaust that I did not want to go that route. I hated the sound. Not the deep tone that I wanted but very much "six-cylinder like", if that makes sense. So I decided that off the headers I would have the exhaust connected by a 'Y' pipe into a single Flowmaster muffler. The Flowmaster I've chosen has a 3 inch inlet and dual 2 1/4 inch outlets. I plan on finishing the exhaust from the muffler back with 2 1/4 inch diameter pipes all the way out.
I'm dropping the engine in this weekend. Everything should be finished by mid-month. I'll post pics and let you know how it sounds.
