Hey Jimmy, if I am seeing correctly you have a tungsten gray coupe. The paint code should be T8.

Your paint code is on the label in the driver's side door jam.

Hahaha.. it never does.

If you want loud, go with an off road pipe.. it'll wake the neighbors when you cold start it. lol

Nope. It took me an hour or so in my driveway to swap out the O/R pipe though. So going back isn't that hard. Its a pretty steep fine here in cali if your caught with no cats, not sure about you though.

The gibsons are chambered, and i've always heard that chambered go best with an H, and sound raspy with an X.

I wouldn't do it personally, but that's just me.

If you want loud you might try SLP Loudmouths. Brenspeed has a video and they seem to put out some major sound.
