The pipes were open SS "cop callers"
They actually hurt my hearing in normal driving.. not something I enjoyed !
They still sound powerful and the spirals will not wear out like glasspacks...they can be removed for cleaning but I likely will just brush and hose them off and then they quickly will be re-covered in soot which mostly protects them against corrosion.
I love the 6 speed shifter.. after the tranny broke in (about 2,000 miles) it became a joy to run thru the gears. I now have over 2600 miles on her and soon will be able to go to synthetics.
(To clarify, at a dead stop 1st is a mild "push-in affair but when rolling all gears are smooth and it is getting better)
Although I have doubts as to how much the Richmond can take before it gives up the ghost, with 600 + HP
