Exhaust/Power/Noise Solution???

Would having someone take off my exhuast tip on my stock muffler, opening the hole a little bit for a little bigger chrome tip, and welding it to the muffler itself be wrong?

I say this because I don't want to have that really loud exhaust that you can here around the block, but I want more flow, and power.

I am for sure getting the Budget y-pipe... But I have read many articles on the noise you get by putting a y-pipe and exhuast together... So, my idea is to get a y-pipe, and have someone replace the tip...

Would anyone disagree with this, or have a better solution? I mean, will the exhaust sound like crap, or would this be worth it?

y-pipe will give you all the performance. muffler tip won't give you any performance. opening the tip shouldn't make it too loud cuz u'll still have ur stock resonator both on the b-pipe and the muffler itself. i wouldn't trip.

Sweet! I also would like the look of a bigger tip instead of the stock one, so that is why I am going through the trouble.

i dont know if that's worth all the work, just leave it the way it is, because the only real reason u'd be doing it is for better looks, performance would not change
