I don't think there's much on the table. there may be some power hiding in the variocam setting but meh.

I ended up ordering a circuitwerks v2 axleback w/ c pipes. I can't stand how this stock muffler sounds. also shedding a not insignificant amount of weight.

I also played around more and believe the test pipe is the issue. It looks like the stock cat fits in place just fine with the headers. Upon closer examination, something isn't right with how the test pipe flange is welded to the pipe. It's at the wrong angle or clocked wrong or something.

So... I ordered the circuitwerks resonated pipe as well.

Removal of stock muffler wasn't mad. I did it without removing the bumper. Remove both C pipes. There are studs going through the top of the transmission. So undo those 2 nuts. Then unbolt the rest. It takes some wiggling and shimmying but eventually got the stud to pop out from the transmission. it looks like it's not going to work but I kept playing with it until it did.
