So... The sound is pretty disappointing. The stock mufflers are like super mufflers or something, as it doesn't sound much different until you get on it. The car feels very strong tho.
I'm debating between running one of my all time favorite mufflers (borla - http://store.summitracing.com/partde...art=BOR-40652) or possibly one of the new aeroturbine stealth mufflers... Ahhh.. Decisions, decisions.

Except just have it as a resonator, and run pipes out to the tips.

Step 10:
A bit beyond DIY now...
I setup out bender for 3" tonight. We are going to get a muffler in tomorrow and bend out a single piece tail pipe.
We will have to cut it back off at the collector and reroute to the muffler. I really wasn't expecting the stock mufflers to be so strong.

Possibly when we are done. Most of us came in today and "played" as we had nothing better to do on a monday anyway.
