Tim.....if your looking for more sound the 18" case borla is probably too quite. A shorter case would definatly up the db level.

I couldn't imagine doing this in rainy weather. That would have sucked bad!

It wasn't easy by no means. to be honest I hadn't wrenched on anything this involved in a long time. It took a while to get the trans out because we were getting re-aquainted with working on our backs and breaking exhaust bolts free. Putting the trans back in was the easy part. We knew at that point where every bolt went. The only issue was we were so excited to be on the home strech that we started putting things back on in the wrong order. I had to remove the start at least 4 times. I can change a starter with my eyes closed now.

Next thing on my list is to rebuild my current rear end or put a 14 bolt in. I need to read up on it a little more and see if its worth it or if it wouldn't be any different to keep rockin the stocker.
