I emailed 3800performance.com about the downpipe I posted about earlier and they said they can "make a special one to fit your vehicle."

This one is $400 though and I am guessing there isn't a dfference between this one and the Hogan one.

I have the magna on my impala, I can't tell much sound difference between yours and mine. I would be intrigued to see step by step process as to compare the sounds.
