Muffler Help Needed

but now this has been such a mess, I'll be happy to be back to where I was before.

Herein lies wisdom - when it comes to cars, you can often make an improvement, but usually at the cost of something else you weren't bargaining for.

The phrase "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" comes to mind...

Funny ... 0.1% increase in throttle response comes to my mind.

Sorry Zeus - you've had 2 unrequitted jabs at my expense lately ... just trying to catch up.

Joe, how come you didn't go the route of a dual exhaust with free flow cats & a cross over?

First off is price, secondly, I can only imagine that this kind of set-up would be just as loud as what I currently have (and don't want). Lastly, some of the pictures I've seen of the dual set-up concern me as the exhaust tips come close to the bumper and I would prefer it look as stock as possible

Yes, you are very correct on this one. Some things I have a hard time accepting, like the VX is loud and inefficient. So, of course I strive to make it more efficient at the expense of making it LOUDER
