Similar enough. I threw away my OEM one a long time ago, and gave away my coupe one for free as well... That was a mistake.

HKS muffler which will run through a coupe middy- well, the piping from the coupe middy. I'll replace the resonator with an 18" Magnaflow resonator, and keep the OEM y-pipe for now. I decided to try something new as I've had my Stillen for quite some time now. Initially I was going to do a custom quad, but I couldn't figure out any way to relocate the evap canister...

cool...that's what I have. But FWIW the coupe middy will do nothing in terms of sound or performance. I tried it and I actually felt the loss of back pressure and the drone drove me nuts. I put back on my OEM '05 middy and my problems were solved immediately. I have right now Intense Ypipe, OEM middy and HKS rear. The car sounds awesome and performs its best. I'm looking at adding the cats real soon and that will be it for the exhaust.

They promised it to me by the 7th, I doubt that's going to happen though, and I'll be out of town till the 11th.

Leaving Thursday @ 2:00PM. If you are purchasing the brackets, then you don't need to weld anything. I'm going to utilize the stock brackets, so I'll be rewelding the position of the hanger. I got my invoice too, but no tracking #.

Thanks Trey- I need to get it before Thursday ideally so I'll stick with locals first. If that doesn't work out, I'll get in touch to arrange payment/shipping.

Thanks,

Boris
