500E rpms at 80 and 100

i am just wondering what u guys rpm is at 80 and 100 mph.
also if u guys have custom exhaust pics could u post them. i have seen the one on here already but was thinking that maybe there are others,
i am thinking of running duals to a x pipe with a bung hole for the o2 sensor and the to a big single cat or running duals to a y pipe to single inlet cat.

Clocked it yesterday, in my '92 124.036.

100mph = 4000rpm

80 = 3200

Wouldn't use the phrase "expert" , but you can get some ideas from www.2phast.com/500e under the Performance section.
