Send Larrio a PM... he might know. He did a Fed spec conversion using the Stillen extension price so he probably knows what goes in there.

Alright guys, got it fixed today. Seems just a few of the bolts had backed out a little bit. They fixed me up free of charge today and I'm back to sounding normal. For those who were wondering, it is no louder than stock, but has changed the tone a little bit. It has a little deeper throaty sound to it. Not quite like a Z because it is quieter, but a very similar tone. It seems that there is a little more power as the engine tachs up quicker than before, creating less lag time in shifting gears. Any other questions feel free to ask.
