    Thank you for posting the after video. I am planning to do the same basic setup for my exhaust. Do you know how long the glass pack is? I have been told that the longer it is the quieter it will be as well as increasing back pressure due to turbulence within.

    I let my brother drive it around while I was outside, the exhaust note is not that loud, you won't hear it from the end of the street. just the way I like it.

    I'll figure out more stuff along the way and I'm really enjoying the sound!
    good job!! that is an enjoyable sound!

    noticed a slight leak on the muffler ends where it was welded. called the shop up and their lead welder personally did the job at no extra cost. now it's leak free!

    It would only void the warranty on the muffler, not the entire car.

    UPDATE:

    after running this setup for about 2 months now, the sound has mellowed down a bit to a nice smooth bassy sound compared to the more raspier tone on the fresh install.. the fiberglass must've 'broke in' by now.

    will post a follow up video by March
