I don't want to go so far as to replace the headers at
this time.  But a muffler is easy and if it will
definitely add to and fit in with what i am doing, then
it makes sense.

At what point do you take away too much back pressure,
and lose low end power?  Think the KEP one goes that
far on a stock motor if made for a subaru?
