    Hey Bart!

    It will be an x-pipe 2.5" all the way back to a pair of Dynomax VT mufflers and then out the nice looking exhaust tips.

    Believe it or not, the factory actually used ATF in four speeds. They also used 90W gear oil.

    Both my guy who rebuilt the four speed and a 30 year mopar mechanic said use ATF!!! Shifts better although some complain you can hear the gears whine which won't bother me.

    I tried ATF, Jamie Passion magic potion, and good ole fashion gear oil and the gear oil worked best!

    I used MTF-90 which I hear is kick ass.

    Custom, 2.5" pipe all the way back, Dynomax VT mufflers and an Xpipe.

    I did ask for bungs at the collectors and I guess he forgot so I'll be making another trip so I can have O2 sensors on this baby.

    They did a great job on the exhaust.

    Now it's time to add fluids and fire her up!!!  :popcorn:

    Who did your exhaust?

    I went to SunnyOaks Muffler in Campbell.

    Well Mike - it was between Kwik or Babes muffler shop. I didn't want to go very far and as it was it was somewhat of a pain.

    They both had good and bad reviews on Yelp although Kwik had more positive reviews and I talked to several folks who said they did good work so I went for it with Kwik and it turned out well.

    The proof comes in when I start her up.  :burnout:

    Back in the day, my friend and I bought collectors from Kragen. Had used mufflers, welded them together, then drove to the muffler shop.

    Was really loud getting there.   :eek4:
