A friend had your set up and got tired of it. He cut out the muffler, and welded in a Magnaflow that he bought new for about $100. The Magnaflow tailpipe exits are 2.5" and the Flowmaster tailpipes are 3", but he welded it right up. Sounds great.

Sounded like a weird knocking, but that might just have been my speakers and the exhaust sound doing it.

Then consider LaMonte Performance True duals with x-pipe. $400 shipped, all stainless, sounds like pure sex! I need to get a video of mine.

I would like to buy the cme valance... i think I'm going to do that instead of fixing my hood..

hell yeah.. if i could do it over again i would have chosen hooker catback over magnaflow. magnaflow is okay. the only catbacks i would ever get is hooker, GMMG, or duals.
