Rear muffler now removed.New pipes installed from the diff, to the rear of the car, with 3 inch chrome tips.Almost as quiet at cruising speeds/ minimal load, but now it's a different story once the pedal is pushed to the boards!

The "mist" is only water, as it's still cold here, and you can see it spraying out the back at some points.

Feels about the same down low, a bit punchier in the middle ranges, and about the same up top.

EXCELLENT!

My gas mileage has dropped 20% just from downshifting while rolling up to stop lights, and staying in the higher RPM's through the gears. It is a drug, the louder exhasut.

That is awesome, glad you finally ran the pipes out the back. Not sure about everyone else but I've been waiting to hear what it sounds like with that setup for a long time.

Is it obnoxious under normal driving or just healthy sounding? Is there any annoying "drone" while cruising at various speeds or at any particular speed/RPM?

Nope, not at all obnoxious.... nice and healthy There is no droning.... It's actually rather quiet under normal load through the whole rev range.To be honest, I was expecting a resonant drone in the cabin at a certain load/RPM/speed...... but there isn't!I am very happy with the end result!

Thanks for the positive feedback guys
