You paint to extend the life of the pipes from usual rusting if unpainted. Unless you can do a run with a stock and see at least a car's lengh gain, I think -+11 HP gain from a dyno is trivial. On the other hand, it looks great, and for sure, the sound is great too. Do you get any droning at 1700-2000 rpm or when you are tugging the engine?

OK socale39, a couple friends of mine agreed to record, then edit a sound clip so here you go:
The first two clips record the vehicle going from 5-7mph up to 25mph, then three clips in order as follows: an engine start, then two engine revs. Hope this helps gauge the sound of the magnaflow muffler system. Its still funny to hear how loud the thing gets at WOT.

Sounds good west! Aggressive yet subtle enough for driving around town. I think I'm going to go with the same setup but I'm planning to have the exhaust shop install flanges so if I want to change things up it should be fairly simple. Before I can tackle this project I gotta get my 19x10 rears though.

Nice! An LSD would be awesome. I'm hoping to have my wheels by the end of this month which means next month I can do the exhaust. Keep us updated with your mods!
