I made a custom exhaust for a customers TC using a TF muffler and tail pipe, was not hard if you are creative. Joe Curto

It had a straight pipe exhaust, and as I recall a diameter of 1 1/2 or so. It was not too loud and as my TC has a crummy exhaust system which is too narrow, hangs too low blah, blah....I intend to have a stainless one made locally soon. If I encounter some friction from the authorities, I can cut it and add a Flow Master, low profile muffler. It wont be "stock, but what I have is and it is not so hot. Vote with the "loud peddle".
