BTW, the first one has an inline muffler in each pipe and the second one, resonators. I know the first one will be louder and better for the track (the car is bridgeported) but it will also be drive on the street sometimes, so I was thinking of the second one for streetability. Which do you guys think?

nice...i wanted something similar to #1, but without the cross. 2 separate al the way to the mufflers. what i currently have is a "Y" after the headers to 2 in-line silencers to another "Y" after the axle bend out 2 mufflers. the car came with that setup...

I think we are going to go with the first setup, but maybe without the crossover. Just throw 2 pipes on there with inline Flowmasters or something like that...I am still debating the crossover, just cause it would cut out some top-end power, and we all know bridgeports have all top-end power. Anyone have any suggestions for mufflers?

dynomax has a straight thru muffler that works well on the fd's, or maybe even the racing beat t2 presilencer, although its kinda $$

Do the Dynomax or Borla mufflers have steel packing? Or are some glass mufflers alright?

I found these Borlas that I'd like:

and

And these Dynomax
