    Also found out why it was louder than all other GP's around here... mufler had rusted through in two spots, and there was nothing inside the mufler, just rusted metal and a pipe. In otherwords, it was pretty damned close to a straight pipe.

    Ha, no its galvanized steel.

    Don't like the prospect of paying a grand for a catback for a car thats worth maybe four.

    Did you cut half your arm off on the exhaust pipe there? Or do like red RTV that much?

    The DOT uses lots of salt in the upper midwest to melt snow and ice in the winter. It causes lots of rust problems for our cars.
