Re: [T3] exhaust system question


I hadn't seen this before.  I might like this one
better than the over-the-top system.  Does it appear
to be good quality?  It almost looks like an adapted
bus muffler design?  

I wonder how long this would last if I got it ceramic
coated to match my exchangers...
