I had the muffs cut out of my sidepipes, new glass packs welded in, and the whole works ceramic coated when the old ones started rusting from the inside out. After 3 years they just keep sounding better and better. Last Sunday I set off a car alarm at idle. Does it get any better than that?

If I were to do it again, I'd have flanges added to the end of the collectors so changing mufflers would be a bolt-on affair. Plus, you could have some straight pipes fabbed up for those times when you really need to make a statement.
