After these mods it really feels like the car was originally designed to sound like this but emissions requirements muffled the intent.

Has burbles on the over-run and everything, pretty impressed I didn’t have to change the exhaust much to get the sound I wanted, wouldn’t change anything with how this works out.

Post a video of your setup, I'm sure more than a few of us are interested in a similar setup.
