I dont think you have read this thread, for one, you dont believe its exhaust velocity, and secondly, he posted he doesnt have his old system. Not tryin to be rude or anything, just read the article and/or thread. The dude already ****ed up his exhaust, dont make it worse by feeding him bad info lol.

Instead of continuing to throw money at it and guessing what might help why don't you go to the marketplace here and pick up a used catback exhaust that will definitely resolve the issue?

I don't get it........ Why don't people do baseline dynos before doing any sort of mod? I also don't get why anyone w/ a $30K car would try and do muffler shop custom exhaust when there are so many proven exhausts out there. I can understand people doing this back in '96 when there was barely any aftermarket support for imports. But it's 2008, w/ a multi billion dollar aftermarket.
