Re: FYI on exhaust systems

Also, I heard that the Mach 1 got a "specifically tuned" exhaust for this model. What was made different about it?

Main reason I'm looking into this is that my O/R H-pipe is 2.5" and my factory cat-back is 2.25" so I want to make it 2.5" all the way out the back by using an aftermarket exhaust kit. But, if the Mach 1 mufflers are actually really good then it may not be worth it.
You should make a video of your exhaust and post it on youtube. I've always thought the Mach's would sound great with the factory exhaust and just on off road H midpipe.
