Cool, it sounds like your exhaust setup is exactly what I want to get for mine: two magnaflows in the stock pipe.
But first I have to deal with the recurring CEL, and then get the e-RAM working, and flush the brake fluid before my next trip (late July). Then the exhaust. And then, finally, see what I can do for a chip.

MAGNAFLOW SUX!!!!!
Just kidding.
Redhawk's setup is very nice...very true to the car's european roots...sound is more european than asian, if that makes sense. Got to see it last weekend.

Thanks for the info Redhawk. I have the SHO Shop Y-Pipe and Hi-Flow Cat and also a Magnaflow Stainless Steel Muffler. I removed the resonator and love the sound, but I believe it is too loud and raspy. So, with your advice, I bought a Magnaflow resonator that is currently being shipped and will have it installed when it comes in. I will let you know how it sounds.

Force the ATX to downship at 65mph and it will put you into the seat.
What do you mean by that? Cutting the O/D off?

You can make the car downshift by stepping into the accelerator slighty past half throttle. Most ATX's will do this...

I granted i no nothing about exhaust but i do like the set up that is talked about here. So if i was to reverse the set up and put the 14" Long - 3.5"x7" Oval Muffler in the resonator spot and the 14" Long - 4" dia Round Muffler in the back would the set up still be as effective. See i want to start with the 3.5"x7" Oval Muffler in the resonator spot and cut off the stock muffler and if its to loud place the 14" Long - 4" dia Round Muffler in the back. Will this work?
