3" catback... or get the carltonator. Carltonator is for pansies, though, makes it too quiet.

You should tune with the headers. If you're already tuned with the headers I wouldn't retune with other exhaust changes.

If you like dual tip I was very close to purchasing the flat black vibrant stealth muffler item #1147. I hear it sounds very nice

No, I know I didn't. In fact I felt as if I gained throughout. But that could've been in my head.

Dual tips ftw. I think they look best on our cars
