2. The muffler should be the least of one's concern in an exhaust system if you're concerned with flow. The intermediate piping is what makes the true impact.

D'oh, sorry wasn't paying attention to this thread. I do infact have two clips, let me find them.

The sound is a little off on the second one, as you can tell from the camera quality, the entire camera isn't really that great, but I'd say it's not too far off, just a little deeper than it sounds in the video.

2.)Different pulley for charger..
3.)A whole bunch of other stuff associated with #1 and #2...
