The exhaust itself may be kinda difficult to find and expensive to to replace. I priced one of our Walker systems out for a customer on a 96 SSE and it was almost $700 for the whole system (with dual outlet muffler). That was with our markup though. And the pipes themselves are a special order item from Walker. I have never had to put a full system on a bonneville as of yet. I have done quite a few cat back systems of buicks and they are quite a bit cheaper (depending on the year)

3. see #1
4. well, maybe id rather go performance over sound. so should i stick with the single outlet?
ive looked at a couple online exhaust sites. none had anything for my 92 C body. and teh few places ive found locally just offer the "aluminized" steel, i dont want that. i want something that will last.
maybe i can find a system at the JY thats in better shape than mine, idk, im just exploring my options right now. but i would like to do it soon.

Wes with your Mad Skillz yo....
Get an Exhaust from an SSEi.... 92-93, or a 92-93 SSEi... If you don't take the Muffy, get the Outlets and the hangers..
If you go with a Flowmaster or Magnaflow you may end up adding a Resonator to tone it down a little..

Over in the regalgs.org forum everyone likes magnaflow and flowmasters. If u dont want alot of sound then yes ull need a resonator. On my system i got a High-flow cat, no resonator to dual magnaflows, all the piping is 3" mandrel bent and i love the sound it makes. It also wont restrict the exhaust , it will actually help for the bigger mods u get for the car.

Rust? It'* strictly cosmetic. It'll never eat through in your lifetime. It'* stainless.
Both of my L67'* retain their stock piping and only get individual components replaced.
Think about that.

yeah ur right bill, maybe ill think about just upgrading the muffler, and a high flow cat.
but i will replace the downpipe. it did rust a whole right before the cat. and im not real happy with its current condition. i guess the rest will be fine.
thanks for the help guys
