So I'm kinda stuck right now as of what to do.
Then I thought of the muff take off and tip put on.
But I dunno if I would get in trouble with mr. lawdog for that or not, or if the shops would even do it.

Also, a catted x-pipe will give you slight power and sound, but not much. I wouldn't bother unless you want to go off-road, which is cheaper anyway.

I doubt you will have trouble finding a shop, a couple might turn you down, but not all. Hell my dealership did my SLP's and O/R X! You need a set of muffler delete pipes or something, though, it will look weird with nothing there, and it will look like you just removed your muffler. SLPs look like professionally installed exhaust.

I'm wondering how much something like this would cost in comparison to ordering the SLP's then paying for them to be installed. I'm guessing the SLP route would be alot more expensive comparatively.
I'm also wondering if going the route of doing this would mess with my warranty. (may be stupid question)

Are these things really that loud w/o an offroad pipe? I have boomtubes and while louder than stock it's not anything insane... And that's more or less a straight through as well.

Hrm.. muff delete pipes eh? So you're saying if I just had the muffs taken off and put tips it would not look that good?

No tickets for me, The difference between the stock and the LM's is like night and day!!! You won't be disappointed. I have a few videos, but nothing that does them anywhere near any justice.
I can't imagine how loud these would be with an O/R Pipe...
Very easy installation, can be done with all basic tools. The hardest part is getting the stock bolts un done

Just a take off:

My buddy has the same exact car as mine, as you can see in my take off video. And he is so amazed by the sound of my exhaust. He has the MAC Prochamber I believe, and you wouldn't believe the amount of buyers remorse he has when he hears my car.
You WONT be disappointed

The install isnt too bad depending how high you lift your car...for me it was almost 3 feet off the ground with a jack and stands. it took about 1 hour to get them on and it totally is NIGHT AND DAY! in a good way of course

RE: SLP axleback users SOUND OFF!
I did my install in about an hour with no jacks. I was even able to remove the muffs without removing the back hanger. Took a little shimmying, but I got it out. The sound is decent, though I could stand it to be louder at lower RPMs. WOT and they really sing. I don't know what all the fuss is about cops. I can guarantee that unless youre flooring it past the cop, they are not going to say a thing. Its that simple. They are not loud at cruising speeds, but act like an a-hole past a cop, you deserve it.
My only complaint is my left pipe needs to be bentin a little to make the tip come straight out. The right pipe is perfect. Anyone know if these stainless steel pipes will bend easy? Should I apply heat to it or will that "stain" the pipe.
