you might find a large round muffler to low on your car. i run a 2 inch straight through sports muffler, and that is very loud 🙂

I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

I have baja headers so clearance wont be a problem. I did consider a s/h motor bike muffler..... How do i check to see if the internals are ok?
