I went to the local muffler shop and had them chop of the old muffler and had them weld me a pipe from where they cut it to the original place where my stock tip's used to be and had them put in a nice tip on it and there you go

and i have felt a difference performance wise the car now idle's better and acceleration is much responsive when cruising at 65 on the highway i used to do that at like 2800 or 2900 and now im cruising at 2300 to 2400 so i would say it Free's up the car a lot

i like the exhaust note.

the only thing i disagree on is cruising at lower RPM at the same speed. there is no way in hell you decreased the the RPM in the same gear at the same speed without modding the tranny gears.

Cool, but yeah... No way your gearing was affected by taking your muffler out You were either cruising in 4th gear before, or you are crazy
