get a aftermarket catless midpipe, and a aftermarket catback like the lm2 you want. the slp lm2 is a entire catback, not just the muffler.

midpipe and catback both will change your sound quite a bit.

yea he is, I had the lmII catback with the slp catted xpipe and swapped the mufflers to lmI's. I would recommend a slp catted x with the lm's as they have sounded the best to me.

Keep in mind if you remove your cats by installing an off-road mid-pipe, your car will not pass inspection anywhere in the US. Some states/counties don't do emissions testing, but it's still federal law that any car that comes equipped with cats have them.

Also keep in mind that without cats your car is going to have a strong smell and it'll stick to your clothes and burn your nose at stop lights or anywhere you idle.

It'll sound great, but there are some disadvantages. IMO, catted aftermarket mid-pipes sound just as good and have no odor that is any stronger than when it was stock.
