Woo, I'm so excited. I got my new exhaust put on my car yesterday. I needed the exhaust replaced anyway, but opting to not use another stock system was my call - it just seemed a lot cooler.
Anyway, I had it custom fabricated (at my mechanic's advice) from 2-1/4" pipe, up from 1-3/4" stock. It's made of aluminized steel, painted black for some odd reason, and capped off with a nice chrome tipped muffler. It's tuned to sound really quiet and low under most situations, but still revs pretty loud when you really give her gas.
If you're careful with your shifting, it'll stay quiet enough that you can drive through a parking lot without even turning a head. But, at the same time, if you're equally as careful towards achieving a different goal, you could easily confuse a passer-by where such a low and pronounced rumble could be coming from when the only car they saw was clearly so small.
In short, I'm happy. But, I'm posting for a little bit more than just that. What I had really wanted to ask was...
What next? =)
