Why is it so loud, Andrew? I am running GAB, Hotshots, gutted cat, Warpspeed B-pipe, and stock muffler. My present setup sounds mean but subtle during start up, stock at idle, and noticably louder during WOT, but no near unbearable. When I was running the setup with the HKS (on cousin's car now), it droned a lot from 2k to 3k rpm and was really loud during WOT.
I'll post a sound clip when I find a digital camera that can record motion/sound.

Yeah the straight pipe and B pipe will make it louder but still I cant imagine they make it that much louder with the stock mufflers. I'm a little surprised actually, now I need to rethink getting headers. Have you tried it with the headers and the cattman catback? It will probably be loud but it could sound really goood. Loud is not always bad if the tone is a pleasure to listen to and its relativly quiet while cruising on the highway.

I'm definitely interested in checking out your video though...lemme know when you get it up Van!

hmm, it should sound similiar to mine then...i mean the only difference i see between ours is your gutted cat versus my test pipe...and i don't think a gutted cat would make it that much more quieter?
oh well, awaiting more comments

I have Hotshot Headers alone with stock exhuast after the headers and I think it sounds pretty good also. I just recently added a midpipe from Berk with my JWT popcharger that I had previously and now it sounds incredible at WOT. I love driving and looking at the people's faces full of shock when I pass them with that sweet sound. And my car sounds stock-like when cruising normal which I like.

Btw how hard is it to try and change the muffler on jacks?
it's kinda difficult to change the muffler...only becuz you have to jack it up real high...and wiggle the muffler's piping over that suspension member...
