nothing is wrong with the SP, since i got rid of my body kit, i wanted the stock muffler look. since the SP is really really shiney. also, i need something even MORE quiet.

right on. INSTALLED!!
things ive noticed and love:
-there no more of that low grumble the SP gave me (some like the low tone, i just grew out of it.
-no more shiney attention getting muffler (some like the shine, i dont
-i dont know if this is just in my head, it seems like i got a better throttle response. but it could just be my head playing with me.
things that kinda irks me:
-at higher RPMs the CAI drowns the lovely note of the muffler
-at 2500-2700, there is a slight buzz in the exhaust note when at 33% up throttle.
overall, im glad i made the change.
i took it to the muffler shop this morning, after some discussion with the guy, i chopped off the muffler flange and extended it to the b-pipe, then welded on a new flange. then for some very odd reason, when the muffler is on the hanger the tip is 2" under the bumper, so i chopped the tip off also. then added an extension tip, and weld the stock tip back on.
here are some pics:
