    Wow. It's like a perfect combination of muscle car and F1 sounds (probably fails to describe it accurately, but...). I love it!

    what are the specs on that magnaflow muffler? what kind of pipe did you go with?

    Haha. This is the best part, I paid a whopping $183 for that. $133 for the muffler, $50 in labor and the 3" pipe. I could not be happier with the price.

    so you married the dual cats into a single 3" pipe and then the 18" magnaflow?

    If so, that would seem like slight less overall diameter than stock... but the sound it makes leads me to believe that it's a great tune for that exhaust.

    Do you have an intake on there or anything?

    Also, did you notice any changes in torque or powerband?


    I'm really fired up because I've wanted to try a magnaflow on the 540 for awhile.
