Default Trans Am side exit exhaust

Now that I've had some fun time with the new exhaust system, I thought I post some pics. The system is a Ram Air Restorations 3" oval tube system, with their X-pipe, and dual Spintech Sportsman split-case mufflers, all mounted behind a set of ceramic-coated Doug's D-port headers. Even with a 3" suspension drop, the system offers adequate ground clearance. For those interested in the same setup, the system only requires trimming of the pipes (universal length) to suit your preferred exit tube location. As for the sound, there is no resonance, as often encountered with Flowmasters. The system is rather quiet until you put your foot into it, then all hell breaks loose, making the engine sound like it's revving about 1000 rpm higher than actual. With regard to the pipes and bend, the RARE system is top-notch, as is their customer service.

I'll try to upload a sound clip when I return home from the desert (currently deployed).
