Exhaust Question
The one's circled in red, there's 14829 Magnaflow Mufflers
The one's circled in blue, removed those and ran straight pipe
This is with 2.25 piping, all welded
It's not loud at all. When I rev the car, I can barely hear the mufflers. It sounds as if air is escaping somewhere. I noticed when I rev, a lot of air blows from the bottom near middle of the car. Could there be a problem with the one circled in green?

It must be louder than stock... right?
Those Magnaflows are a straight through internal design with a 2.5" internal tube for the core. They are definitely louder than the stock mufflers. Removing the center mufflers should make a big difference.
The air flow under the car when reving is almost certainly the cooling fan moving air through the radiator and then under the car. If you had an exhaust lead under the car that you could feel it would be loud.
For testing I removed everything after the single center resonator and test drove. At idle it sounded like a big block Corvette. Driving it was rediculously loud. Put the pipes right back on.
See if you can post some video.

Should I straight pipe the one circled in green?
I'll try to get a video up

I just got mine done at mike's mufflers as well. I removed everything you circled except for the rear mufflers. With that setup, you'll hear a slight drone at idle and under 3k rpms. Not loud enough for me but im doing it like this since im still awaiting a nice pair of quads. As for the air, check for exhaust leaks cus i had a few and went back to them to get it rewelded. Start your car up in the morning while it's cold and hover your hand underneath the pipe/weld to feel for air and if you see water leaking/squirting out, you should go back.
