Well, the Flowmaster 70 series II DeltaFlow is inatalled, mission acomplished. There is no inside cabin noise while cruising, and only mild noise upon accelleration. I went with 2" tubes, and the mechanic at the place where we have work done said the what I did will keep back enough pressure to keep the valves from getting burnt. The only down side is that the FM 70 does not come in stainless steel.
