It really did, 3.5" borla XR-1s right out the side. I had a couple neighbors that'd come out to hear it while I warmed the motor.

I did another 55 post build in 2010 through 2012 and here was the finished product. Big block Chevy 565 that on pump gas made 732 hp naturally aspirated, a tremec T56 trans, and a 4 linked 9" with lots of stainless to wrap it all up.

(LOL) With that 3" stainless exhaust, I actually had a couple neighbors that came over to thank me when I moved out of the neighborhood in 2014. :-)

It was deep sounding with all that motor, and it was loud through that exhaust system!
