Your idle mixture screw will need richened, and you and your friends will need to buy earplugs. LOL Why not seperate your exhaust at the front of the H box and leave only the headers. Try that and see how you like it and how it runs. I have never heard anything but good stuff about the 2-1 mac exhaust. Tom If you can read this thank a teacher.
