If I remember correctly Kevin has the Trubendz Magnaflow muffler.

How's that working out for you Kevin? I was thinking of getting one here so I can go back to my stock look and get rid of the exhaust thats currently on the car.

Yess, its a trubendz magnaflow 2.5inch catback and its working great! I like it alot, but if you are NA you might want to get it resonated, its alittle loud at times.

IPP's Stage 2. When I first put them on I had over a 2" drop. Could barely get my jack out from under the car :roll: Only finger that I could wedge between the fender and the tire.

Image

Back to a more managble height for the roads I drive. 5/8" Drop front, 1 1/8" drop rear. Ground to fender 25 3/8" at center of arch
all around.
