I'm sure you're wondering why I'm going with AAR Cuda style side-exit exhaust. Well, I really like the idea of the side exhaust, but am not to keen on glasspack style mufflers. Standard Flowmasters won't fit, since they have to be mounted forward of the stock location. So, after seeing a good friend putting the system on a '70 AAR Cuda, I decided that was what I wanted. Thanks a bunch to Kevin at KA Performance Engineering for letting me see that.
