As far as being able to cut anything out of the exhaust system and replace it with just pipe, what would you recommend chopping out if I want to keep my present factory mufflers for now, but take away some of the resistence?

That http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-aq_6rJ41g sounds really nice.

Tips look cool.

As far as exterior sound clip why not get someone to stand on the edge of a nice long straight road then film you going towards and away from them - redline in 2nd, 3rd & 4th of course. Maybe go back round and let us hear it changing down in manual mode.
Throw a rag over the plates for the 5 minutes that will take. RR said he will pay for any tickets you get

Thanks guys! and Rich I'll be sure to forward my tickets to you haha

And about covering the plate/angle out the plate, i was thinking that too, just need to find the time to do it. I had my friends take a few videos but we weren't really thinking about the plate issue. I'll get one up soon, because from outside its even better. Everytime i get in my car I still can't believe the sound, its 100000x better than i ever thought. But one thing that I really enjoy (but i guess some people would not like) is that you can really hear it/feel it inside the car in the 2000-2500 RPM range. But i definitely recommend this mod to anyone who wants to hear their X roar!

If i remember correctly I've seen your black X in your thread and its 4.8? If so, your in luck. Just replacing the resonator with an X pipe would make a BIG difference. I heard Jose's 4.8 (Twinspoppa) with an X pipe and it sounded awesome. If you remove the stock mufflers too your X will REALLY roar. But go with the X pipe first, and if thats not enough move on from there. I started with the X pipe, but since I have a 6 cylinder (which has BIG ASS STOCK MUFFLERS) not much was noticed. But I resolved that issue.

And after a little magic from windows movie maker, i was able to un-professionally blur out the plates (and half the video) heh. I'll try and get a better video up. This will serve its purpose for now..

Great video. That sounds absolutely awesome. There's no back rap at all, which is perfect. Now you've got me think'n. That's never good.
