Thanks!

Your second link was to a 2.25" Cat, I used 2.5" Cats.. Yes, I posted the muffler p/n's.

Excluding the headers, I spent probably right around $1,200 (professional TIG welding ain't cheap!), but since I made most of it myself, and paid less for the mufflers (14386 @ $96.48 and 14211 @ $77.45 ea.), it would cost more to duplicate.

I was thinking of adding a set of Borla's in the rear to my car. But after listening to your car and GENO's I'm thinking a set of LMS mufflers would be better. Thanks
