Yup it will work... Well I'd say get an 11" or 14" di/do without the true x core if you go with a maggie. You are more limited with the di/do so I'd say do the maggie. I'm not sure if borla makes one. Just remember the x goes as close to the factory location of where the y pipe was and you should be set.

Yeah they still have a hard time predicting winter weather here. The timing has to be perfect and they usually get it wrong.

And I wondered what the high winds were all about last night. Now I know!

Really they were blowing pretty hard for some reason last night. Winds of change...

Good choice! One thing I love: The shorter the muffler, the louder it is. Which means the less material used to make it, so the cheaper it is


Also, that muffler is going to take a few thousand miles to break in and become up to it's full loudness. The rock wool packing gets pushed up to the muffler walls so it will get decently louder.

My muffler is tiny, oval shaped maybe 9" wide by 4" tall by 9.5" long IIRC. Not loud to me, and no drone at all. I'm picky too and it sounds darn good.

I should hit that in no time then since I drive 116 miles a day. Going to order it next week probably.
