People comment about it all the time. Have heard so many 'hollow' mono toned cars with either 3.5" or 4" singles. They're nice and deep in mild steel but have little rasp to them which I personally like. Maybe it's just the stainless, but it has nice crackles and pops and sounds more like a boosted old school six. Some might say a bit ricer also but I'll wear that. 2

The plan was to get a donor rear shield and trim it to a similar profile like the front one to mainly hide the manifold and direct heat away a bit, then run the beanie and maybe heat wrap the dump. Thoughts?

There are some supposedly HD versions on ebay for similar coin but not sure of them. Checked everything else for leaks but pretty sure it's the mount. Luckily given the turbo has been replaced, the bottom heat shield is no longer there so from what I understand it should be straight forward to replace now. Edited 01/12/14 10:46 AM by Bomber
