I did the Crios mod a.k.a drilling a ¾" hole in through the back of the muffler and with the Top Speed Cat Deletes - it sounds G-r-r-reat! Not too loud! Is there such a thing? Harleys and other "road furniture" go around without being muffled but IF a car or sportbike tries that it's too loud? O.K. maybe that is a bit too much…but short of that, as long as there is performance to be gained!!!

Now this has me thinking about headers and a cat back systems so my box can GROWL on the PROWL…as we are hunting down F-150s!

Still waiting on my replacement test pipes to come in (they did ship ASAP when I called to let them know there was a mixup on the packaged order).

I did want to say that John (Che) was super cool about it and let me keep the gaskets from the old set free of charge so I could swap the pipes around in the future without getting an exhaust leak from reused gaskets.

Still planning to do 3.8 swap, which is sitting in the garage, but will be taking a 700 mile RT with the 3.2 this weekend, so I'd like to swap in the headers and midpipes just to try them out since I have the extra gaskets. Hopefully the exhaust manifolds will come off easily -- I know they were removed 25k miles ago, so they should.

Looking forward to doing the job tomorrow.
