Sounds beast, I also snapped off a bolt during my headers swap, rear bolt on the passanger side. I was lucky and it broke right at the head of the bolt. I managed to get two small nuts on what was left and crank them together , put a wrench on that, then I got lucky and it came loose.

I really gotta make my car louder! That thing sounds sick bro! Mine is too quiet! Stock manis, cats and mag catback is silent even with the X instead of the resonator!
Im looking for a cheap way to make it sound good. The mag came on the car and i love the tips so i think i'm going to cut it up afterall to make it loud enough for me. Eventually, I'll have LT's but for now, i need to find something that will hold me over. I was thinking of running stock manis, stock cats, X and cutting the mag muffs out but keeping the tips. Basically a muffler+resonator delete.
After hearing the cats are really restrictive, i was thinking maybe i should get rid of those instead and get a tune for the o2's to be turned off. That will obviously cost more though and if i go that route, i'm pretty sure these mag muffs still wont be loud enough for my taste so ill still end up removing them and replacing them with some dynomax bullets or something else loud and aggressive!

Im thinking im going to cut the muffs off tomorrow and see how it sounds with stock cats, X and muff delete. Id imagine it would be fairly similar to yours with high flow cats and resonator.
Id really like to do a cat delete and dynotune but a tune is about $400 and then labor on the cat removal will be $60 or so. Considering i could spend the $60 alone on doing the muffler delete and with keeping the stock cats, it will still pass inspection and wont throw a code, i can always tune it and cut the cats later and put some mufflers (either the mags or something louder) back in at that time.
