Thanks guys, I love the sound it is addictive to drag the gears out and stomping it in first two.... lol

Looking forward to videos to hear it. Looks like you cut into the bottom of the muffler. Maybe for any future muffler-cutters, make your opening on the top of the muffler. That way, you hide the welds once you put it back on the car. Anyone stooping down to investigate will see a totally stock looking muffler.

Considered chopping from the top but easier to do from bottom for access to gut, it has a natural 'pussy flap' ;-)
Would have loved for a neater job but it is what it is, I will try somthing else later.

I want to run my dual X outlet into a single muffler at some point, maybe a carbon Fibre look muffler with off set tip, but thats another project, for now I just want to go out and rev this thing up lol, its not everyones taste, but for me it is the exact sound I was looking for.

try packing it with some steel wool or something and see if that helps tone down the sound and it wont hurt the flow since it will be around the 90 degree pipe.

Kastley85891 07-19-2010 12:51 PM

I made a cut out in my Gimp suit, be a shame to waste it

Red370 07-19-2010 12:55 PM

I'll be honest, I dont know why a woman even has access to your Z:icon17:

I wouldnt let Scarlett Johansson drive my car, and thats the truth.

Red, its the only way I could get it after dropping 30K into modding Subarus over 4 years, she said, 'Its mine' when I brought it home.

I let her be to keep knee deep in the goods
