Default 04 to 05/06 Bumper/Exhaust swap

I'm swapping my 04 bumper out to an 05/06 bumper, and want to install a cat-back exhaust with the 05/06 look, and want T-304 stainless steel. Any suggestions or experience?

Does anyone have a Stainless Works exhaust? How does it sound? How difficult was it to install? What about JBA?

from what i've heard, stainless works is on the loud side, but it sounds VERY good in my opinion.

I have done mine myself. Went well, fast and cost $700.00. I first installed a full exhaust from the manifolds back from an 0'5 to my 04'. I used the PBM bumper from the same car. All fit great. I then installed a stainless SLP LM I catback. It sounded great with stock manifolds and cats. I added Kooks LT's without cats, and found that the drone I got from the SLP system got worse. Almost ear bleeding. I sold the SLP and installd a Corsa sport catback. Man, what a differance. I love th sound, and it fits great. The tips are nice and fit in the 05' bumper pockets very well. there is no drone at all. The car is wisper quiet when just driving down the road. Almost forget I have it on. Then I drop it a rear and mash it. Oh yeah, there it is.

You can get the stainlessworks system with the turbo mufflers instead of the chambered mufflers.Thats what I have ,it sounds great.
