I did the Pedro mod and LOVE IT! Cost me 300.
I didn't go any further than making a small hole with a screwdriver. Got the Top Speed Pro exhaust in the meanwhile so car's in the shop for the "upgrade" Will find out, what it sounds like, tomorrow!

Let us know. Pedro Exhaust is hard to beat for the price, though.

First, on my 2.7L non-S '02, the Top Speed Pro muffler did not simply bolt on. The shop had to cut and weld the C-pipes because the angle of the C-pipes wasn't working out with the TSPro muffler. When the shop called me to say it's going to cost more because of the welding etc, I thought maybe they didn't follow proper instructions or something. But then when I looked the exhaust system myself, it was clear the C-pipes would have to be cut and welded.

Other than that, my experience is very similar to others. Exhaust sounds great except for the drone between 2800-3000 RPM and it is worse with the top up.

So I am, now, looking at cat bypass pipes
