A mufller really wont make too much of a difference with your setup but will sound halla better. I like the Borla but the Magnaflow sounds awesome!

Muffler is a waste, I wish I would have kept stock. 3" Cutout is the way to go IMO

again, the flow isn't really going to make much of a difference on your setup. If you want better flow look at long tube headers, high-flow cats and then a muffler. The only gain you are going to get with a muffler only swap is sound.

no, and headers won't void your warranty....well they'd have to be the cause of the failure. So if your cats failed, no but if your AC stopped working they'd have to fix it.
