finally bit the bullet, and splurged on a dual exhaust conversion. man, the car sounds soooooo good now!
it runs better too. used to be i could hardly hear the motor, now im very much in-tune with it.
unfortunately, im unhappy with the shoddy work. there is a massive exhaust leak where they connected old pipe, to new.
there are holes and you can both see it, and feel exhaust coming out of it.
the muffler shop took it back and did some "hole patching" but they are gonna have to do more.
all in all.. i sorta got screwed and will never do business with these folks again. but i doubt they are gonna refund my money. im stuck with it.
but man it sounds throaty
