There is a huge crimp in the exhaust right after the primary cat on the driver's side.
Couple that with a crimp in the rear and a non functioning Xpipe that is located too far to the rear.
My buddy Kenny and I rebuild the crimped sections and built a proper Xpipe with the correct tight angle for proper scavage.
The rear crimps were replaced with straight 2.5" and we made a new brace that can clearance the straight pipe.

Seems that might have been done due to clearance issues by Gov standards (gotta love Gov Standards). Now that the car has been sold those standards don't have to be really met... so you guys let the car breath a bit better. More HP. 
I remember something similar was done to the corvettes. Ride height had to be a certain level but GM decided that for the owners that really wanted could lower the car... by just using 4 screws. I got mine lowered really quick that way.
