and added the muffler as well. The sound is cherry. The wife won't like it but you will. Definitely does not sound like a Mercedes anymore but not loud like a wide-piped jacked up chevy or Ford pickup.

that I had removed. All of the other pictures are supersprint...the full cat back set up which includes the muffler, angle pipe to clear the rear axle and the dual pipes with the quad tips. I'm not aware of other cheaper outlets. I bought mine from ben at evosport. I originally bought the weltmeister from performance products.

but no butt factor from the pipes but the muffler does make it louder. I added a supercharger two weeks before the muffler. Any horsepower gains from the freer flow of air are actually irrelevant and unnoticeable--and I wonder if supersprint even quotes that they add so much horsepower. If I had stupid money I would get new headers...

The exhaust pipes do not get in the way of the spare...of course you could be playing a slight game of "operation" especially if the pipes are hot when you remove the spare...but it can be removed in either case. Good luck with the group buy imwalkin!
