Not following the logic, why buy the mufflers then? You could have any shop with a pipe bender extended tail pipes. Have you driven it with out the mufflers that should pretty much be how it will sound.

because i want to retain the stock clamp. Also i like the gt/cs tips.

yes i have driven it without the mufflers and i like the sound but it will sound different for a fact.

From what I've heard the 4.0 sounds like dog crap w/o the muff.

The pipes ahead of the Y are 2.25", after the Y 2.5". The muffler unbolts and is easily removed, no need to cut anything.
Stock GT takeoffs are a great cheap muffler option.
