There are pros and cons to welding the mufflers and exhaust in place. Obviously, if you ever need to remove the system you'll be stuck. We don't think that's going to happen, so we had the crew at Master Muffler weld the seams for a no-leak system.

Just for kicks, we thought we'd see how the 305 would fair with a gulp of giggle juice. The Nitrous Works single-shot plate system bolted right in and let us choose a 75hp, 125hp, or 175hp shot (which more than doubled the factory horsepower rating).

We had to borrow a bottle and line from a friend, but the system was easy to install because the bracket for the solenoids and the tubing were ready to rock.
