If you have a lift....

.....it's a LOT easier to R&R the muffler with the bumper in place, but it's still a pain. Doable. But a knuckle slicer.

As far as sound goes, I'm an older guy and I simply changed the muffler out for an FVD Brombacher "Sound Version" muffler.

The sound is PERFECT for a real world, cross-country, daily driver, for old farts.

This muffler gives a little burble and pop on high RPM decel, sounds AWESOME at full throttle inside the car, and doesn't drone too loudly below 3,000 rpm like many others do.

I have all stock headers and all the stock cats.

Now, this muffler is STUPID expensive. BUT, it's made out of T316 stainless instead of the usual T304, so it stays polished and shiny, the tips turn gold, and the sound is a bit deeper.

I love it.

If you want to really turn heads and get attention, this is NOT the way to go.

If you want just that little bit more exotic sound, with a great looking set of tips (insert joke here) then this is the way to go.

I researched for a year before settling on the FVD. I listened to a lot of cars.

If you want to really sound like a GT3 at LeMans, just buy the Fabspeed and call it a day.

Good luck!
