Finished my Weapon R install last weekend, and just did my exhaust today!
I ended up with a custom system, by removing the third cat, resonators, and running x pipe in place, and dual pipes to the back, each to a magnaflow muffler with tips that are tasteful; not too big. It sounds really good, very deep at low rpm's. It quiets down mid range, which is when my intake sound kicks in, and then the exhaust comes back at higher rpms again. Very similar to my Tbird that had a similar setup years ago, but its not quite as loud.
I was originally going to install a glass pack muffler instead of x pipe, but I did not want extra restrictions. Now I am wishing I did, because I lost some ooomph down low now when driving, which tells me I do not have enough back pressure. The power comes back higher in the rpm range, but I have to take my car back soon to have it adjusted. Maybe I will have them crimp the pipes a bit just like the stock exhaust was before the resonators. It should be something that is easily fixable. Should also add more sound to the exhaust at mid range.
I was also considering getting the Sprint throttle modifier, and getting it tuned. But I still think I am going to crimp it a bit, since I may have overdone it with the design of the exhaust
I just posted this in my Weapon R thread as well
