just took my mufflers off as well after reading this to hear the sound and I have to say it sounds awesome. Where did you guys buy your tips at? and how much did it cost you to get the custom bent pipe from the muffler mount to the tip? I know its only like 2 1/2 feet per side so shouldn't be much right?

We bought an extra set of tips/mufflers (one piece) from a local dealer. The tips/mufflers were take offs from an 05 GTO that had the sport appearance package installed by a local company called ADI. After they install all the new pieces...they send the stock stuff back to the dealer. If you order the muffler/tips from the part counter, they are like $500-$600. But you can get them much cheaper if you find them as take offs. Went to the muffler shop yesterday and had the stock mufflers cut out and straight pipe installed in its place. Went to a really good local guy that does all my exhaust work. Gave me a break at $50 for both sides. It would just depend on what your muffler guy wants to charge for the pipe and his time.

Hope this helped.

I should be getting those drive by clips soon...I'll post them up ASAP.

Anyway...we decided to see how loud our little project was going to be, so we just unbolted the mufflers and drove around. Here is a little clip I made.
