Default new single 4" setup dumped

no more catback.
got the 1 7/8 headers on. new 3" y pipe, 3.5" circle track mufflers, howe merge y into a 4" dynomax muffler 6x27".
tucks up higher than my catback with some floor massaging and sounds killer. idle has more thump than what i had, but its better cruising inside the car. not much resonance.
saved 20 pounds from the mufflex kit i had with a magnaflow diesel muffler, heat shields, hangers, etc.

it is the best one you can buy for the money.
they have some sweet x pipes as well.
not many people know about them. they are more circle track oriented.
one thing i can say, its very thin gauge.
its stout, but doesnt like a lot of heat when welding.
