    Yeah, I got the chrome tailpipes for it. It is quiet, tight and smooth for a car that old. Just can't cut it up or mod it out. I'll leave that to someone else.

    i though that all the coupes came from the factory with the 2.5" stainless tails?

    The only things that have been replaced were the cat back(with a midas crap replacement), water pump, radiator, plugs and wires, and of course the tires. It has the original clutch in it that still gets second gear scratch. Stock shifter feels like new. The guy was in his 50's when he bought it, and just used it as a dd. The first time I floored it, there was a cloud of crap came out and it hasn't done it since. Guess it needed blown out! I'm just the man for the job.
