I'm starting to regret getting an exhuast at all. I put the exhaust on a few years ago, and thought it sounded great, not I don't like how it sounds like I'm booting the accelerator when I'm taking of normally. I would love an exhuast that sounds like stock but without the restrictions, ahhh nice to dream.

Find a stock exhaust and replace the mufflers with straight through units, the bigger the better.

Wouldn't the shitty factory bends then pose a restriction?

No, not really.

It's not a drag car chasing 1 poofteenth of a second so it would make very little difference.

Not a bad idea. What about a SS or HSV twin system? Would they bolt up?

It doesn't from factory, but I can get another.

They have to be in the same position as the S/C or V8 factory cats.
