Update Saturday...
I went up to Reno and fitted the pipes to the car and tacked everything in place. My stock turnouts actually pointed up slightly rather than being 90 degrees to the ground. I turned the new turnouts down just slightly....I mean just a touch, but not enough to ever be considered leaf blowers. I've seen some that are almost 45 degrees and they make a friggin mess especially with any dirt around.
I've done exhausts for Harley's and noted the sharpness of the exhaust note decreased more than you would think when you turn them down just a degree or two. It kind of takes the bite out of them. They will still be louder, but it does help.
I fired it up and "what a difference". It doesn't sound like an air compressor anymore. Such a "deep throat" sound.....I meant to say "Deep and Throaty"? I didn't get to drive it because it had to be removed and Tig welded, and will be sent off to Fresno for Jet Coating. I will have them on the car Aug 6th. and be back with a sound and performance update. It will be a seat-of-the-pants performance update because I'm not so inclined to spend an extra $500 for a couple of "before and after" dyno pulls. My performance rating will be listed as .....Pretty Good..... Wow, what a difference..... or, Holy Sh#@! I'm hoping for Holy Sh#@!
