Default New exhaust setup.

Well one of my mufflers went out so I thought..... Excuse to change my exhaust! I was on a very low budget tho. I got a Dynomax Bullet and put it where the resonator was and had just a single 2 1/2" pipe all the way back. Only set me back 100 dollars for the muffler and install. It is very loud but I like it! Very good tone and did I say very loud! Figure Id post a vid of it. Excuse the quality I took it with my cell phone. Once the muffler breaks in Ill get some rev clips up.

I was considering something similar...were they unable to reuse your stock tips? Why not just cut the mufflers off?

I've been assuming all I would need to do is find a muffler that would fit in place of the stock resonator and then cut out the mufflers and replace with a little straight pipe keeping the tips and the majority of the piping.
