Did you do the exhaust tips too? If so, where did you get them?

It was welded instead of being clamped like the factory

I had a custom exhaust made. From the cats back I had a res delete ran to the stock location and had a flowmaster super 44 put in.

I took off the muffler and don't have anything other than the pipe after the resonator and I love it. I tried putting on a manga flow muffler and it didn't sound that good, similar to stock, I think I will leave it muffler less for a little while...
