reminds me of using a nail in mufflers back in the 60's. it got louder but i dont think it did anything for speed, the pipes were still to restrictive without headers and enlarged exhaust pipes.

Well, since youve already got the holes cut, cut that muffler off and have the duals open and shave a few pounds=) Sounds good to me, but I got tired of loud and put a honda muffler on.
