LoudnLifted88, I went out an measured mine and it is 2.75 OD. Did you just go with a 3" muffler? Putting 2.75 piping on a vehicle is pretty ignorant considering how uncommon it is. And Wagonbacker9, thanks for the offer! What town do you live in? Im about 30 miles of Peoria.

Hah, thats kinda funny. I've got a guy coming up to buy a set of wheels from me from peoria in the next couple weeks. Its a 5 hour ride. LOL

(unfortionately he won't have space for exhaust, and it won't be ready to pull off when he's here yet anyway)

No, he's got a GTO.. the wheels are off of my car that I sold last month.

Nothing wrong with the 350, 4l60e is shifting real funny though, so I took the opportunity to go all out on the replacement. Plus with the GTO gone I'm missing me some LS-based power. With the cam I'm putting in I should only be about 100 hp under where the GTO was... instead of the 200+ down I am now.
