    Very well done!

    Emissions are not affected by mufflers, only sound.

    If you remove the cats you'll typically not pass inspection and unless you use some kind of dummy load where the 4 O2 sensors were, you'll throw codes and possibly put the computer into some sort of limp mode.

    Very Nice.

    I'd like to see the tube set up done as a kit though so some local shop wouldn't have to "figure it out"...

    Correct.

    But I noticed my fuel consumption is down since I'm being very light on the gas so as not to deafen people. - But then again, gunning it sounds quite cool too.

    Smile mini-update

    Uploaded a clip of the muffler after putting about 2,500 miles on it.
    The clip doesn't show too much of a difference other than a bit rounder when I put it in gear.

    But I do notice a difference driving now, it's a bit quieter with a more truck like throaty sound. Unfortunately, there is still a nasty resonance/drone around the 1700 rpm (55 mph) mark when in "D". After putting it in "3" to get the rpms up a bit, the resonance goes away. I'll likely be putting on some mini resonators after some new cats to see if that dampens the resonance... we'll see.

    for now, under 1500 and over 1900 rpm, it's sweet and can just hear (and feel) it lightly. With some B-Quiet Extreme I hope to dampen the cab noise down a bit more.

    Even just rolling into the underground parking at work and tapping the gas to park I'm setting some car alarms off ,good vibrations.

    Cheers.
