• Ok! Wasn't nearly as bad as expected! It has some other, equally large muffler right under the drivers seat, so its not bad @ all! That muffler must have been really jammed up because I get more power, and some black smoke under load. Kinda noisy around 50 mph goin up hill, but exact what I wanted. Video soon

• you can click the bottom one its actually a video.. altho that's not clear?
  
  wifey ran it out real hard on the first rev, but you get the idea.
  it doesn't rasp like the video seems to make it, that's just my cellphone mic distorting.
  
  so all in all, no muffler FTW.. no blat or rasp, good sound not overly loud. little more power/torque easier shifts.

• lol "Gawd, just a *little* bit" I can just picture the look on your face....
  
  Sounded pretty decent. Needs bigger piping, but I like my car sounding like a Cummins.

• you still got a resonator or something in the system, cause if you didnt, it would be obnoxious..
