I had the factory exhaust system taken off from the cat/con back, and a nice new system installed.

2 1/4" pipe was used, along with a 50 series Flowmaster muffler. That should free up some lower end grunt!

I most likely should have gone with a 60 series, as the 50 is just a little bit louder than I wanted, but not by much. At freeway cruise it is barely noticeable, until I force a downshift to 3rd. Don't know if it will have any impact on MPG or not, but after a few tanks I'll be able to tell.

The factory system just looked soooo restrictive that I had to change it out.

I can't wait to do the same on my E. How much $? Feel a difference in performance? Any other performance mods? I'm also interested in effect on MPG.
