It is very drony just cruising around because it is dumping underneath the car. It is also looks like I don't have a muffler, so I am thinking of picking up a stock LS, GSR, or ITR muffler and having custom hangers welded on for a sleeper muffler.

Yeah. Since it dumps before it reaches the LCA, it doesn't have to curl over it and possibly cause clearance issues with my 22mm swaybar.

I have a stock GSR exhaust by the way. It on my gorilla racks in the garage.

Won't a stock muffler slow down the exhaust flow? Just asking, because a long time ago I bought the infamous Thundermuff off of Ebay and the tip on that thing was the size of a grapefruit and did not really like it. So I had the 2.5 inch piping modified to bolt up to my stock muffler and as a result it sounded normal and felt stock power wise, granted your boosting, but just wondering if you think that will affect it?

Thinking of selling it? I just need the muffler.
Not really so much to avoid the law (since they are pretty lax here) but to make it look better.

Don't worry, it will be a full 3" turboback w/ out cat. The stock muffler is just for appearance. I can see how the wording can be confusing, though.

Yes, I am against running without a cat. I am not going to sit here and justify my hypocrisy, though. I'll just say that I have much better things to spend $150 on than another exhaust restriction.

Have you ever ran without a cat before? I heard the stinch can be mind altering.
