Can't wait for Midnight Club Los Angeles myself.. Looks incredible!!

Also, want to get a muffler. Not a full system yet. I'm not getting the full cat-back until I can go big and go for the header to the tip. I don't want it a TON louder than stock, but I do want to save the weight over that stock muffler. I heard alot of goof Magnaflow clips. What one should I get? I'd use the stock SS tip. What offset on the inlet should I get, and is it 2.5 inch? Otherwise, anything else? I have a Dynomax ststem on my Dads Monte and it sounds really good.. It's the Super Turbo, which is a little quieter than the Ultra Flow.. Any suggestions? Direct replacement only..

Or hell, anyone selling a cat-back? haha

Never knew a thing about it. But you also mentioned Irwin, that's a good 20 miles from me.

That's an epic TV news interview in the making. "Yeah I was just finishing up this bad ass drift run and got real thirsty, so I went up to the kitchen to get a drink and the whole damn house was gone...."

I need to trade stuff in to get that game. I hear lots of good stuff about it. I'm so broke. Like all of a sudden a million games I want are now out, so I gotta pick up that and MGS4 at the very least.

Haha... Actually I've played MGS since the first MGS game. The only one I haven't played yet is MGS4 since it's on PS3.

Blown and N/A 4 banger dude, you instantly give up the right for good exhaust tone. You go with what has most function and is the ******* loudest.

No YOU go for what's loudest. Normal humans want something that has decent gains and still sounds good.

Honestly, I like my GMPP exhaust. It's made by Borla, who IMO has one of the better sounding SRT-4 exhausts. I only bring the Peon in because exhaust note is going to sound different being that you've got the snail on yours.

An exhaust isn't a power mod that gives a set HP #. It is a supporting mod that compliments everything else down to the motor. More airflow you have, the more the exhaust will help.

Al was a perfect example, had a 2.5" Corsa setup on his car. When he got the TVS, he got the Vibrant combo just to help out the new blower.

A stock car really wouldn't need a 3", so I don't think anyone has done a straight dyno with just Vibrant.

I know of a GTO owner that was pro-charged with complete stock exhaust. When he got headers and full exhaust, he gained 80whp+. (Correct me on this Matt)

I'm not saying it won't give power. All I meant was with exhaust... the power increase is exponential with other mods. The GTO I stated above is perfect example. Put that same exhaust on a stock GTO and I doubt you will see +80whp. Same with Al's.

IMO take the exhaust off completely and give the motor free breathing and save your money. Noise don't bother me.

Well... hes still running the canned procharger tune... garbage...

He gained 40whp with headers and catback without a tuning change.

He could easily gain much much more by getting a proper tune.
