I dunno man, it looks like you get what you paid for. Plus in all honesty, that muffler is pretty ricey looking. Did you install it yourself or did you have a shop do it?

Sorry, not into the "loud rice" sound. I'm old, I like quiet. Now a nice V8 with duals, that's another story.

haha thanks but it looks better in person i post a rear view so so you can see what it looks like in person, an im not much for duals unless its a true dual, as far as the price goes its better then a cherrybomb by far a friend has one on an 87 beretta now that sounds like poop in a can, intierer noise wise the sounds not bad after 3000rmps, and its what i like for now till i muster up the ***** to spend 500 to for new headers y-pipe an cat back, i really like the intake though, but i posted it for a referance for anyone thinking of going the cheap way around inspections(in pa anyway) here we need a catt and thats all, for straight backs

I still believe in stock catback & stock muffler Modify everything in between. (i.e. headars). Not much power to be lost in the OEM catback & muffler.

*How does this setup sound in traffic, or @ 2200-2600 rpm?
Where did you find these items?*
