SO here it is, my final exhaust (for now). Originally I was going to use what was left of a turbo Apexi GT cat back. I decided this was going to be OBNOXIOUS, and reused the NA muffler.

I posted this already, but here is the B-pipe. Yes, I know the merge sucks. No, I'm not going to do anything about it right now.



And here is my muffler setup. It's a NA muffler that we modified to 3" inlet. Maybe it's tough to see from the pictures, but basically we took a 180 then cut it in half and pitched it down to a 90 that goes into the B-pipe via V-bolt clamp (for easy/quick/gasketless dropping of muffler/b-pipe). The flex on the b-pipe transitions to 3".

Added an o2 bung since that picture to the straight pipe behind the x-member for my wideband.

I'll take some video soon, but it sounds REALLY GOOD IMO. It's quiet in cruise and idle, but you can tell it's a V6 clearly. When you WOT it, sounds very exotic IMO. I couldn't be happier considering I have like 80 bucks invested into that muffler setup. All the piping is stainless 3".

My car isn't lowered, and my driveway is pitched like ... 90 degrees up it seems and I didn't scrape exhaust. So it appears ground clearance isn't an issue right now.
