Apexi WS2
Well as you all know, I ahve the Apexi WS2 and I dont think it is loud enough. So after noticing the screen metal gaurd in the actual muffler I decided to drill it out and maybe it would be a little louder. The metal gaurd is doing the exact same thing as a silencer anyways. So I shine my flashlight in there and notice all the holes are plugged with a black stuff which dad and I thought was fiberglass but oh well!
Anyways, I bought a 12' extenonsion and a 12' drill bit for metal and I only have an inch or two to spare! So I began nervously drilling away at the gaurd and had about 5 holes in there. I started her up, and it sounds the exact same. So I stuck my drill in there again and noticed that there is another piece of metal ab out 1/2 to 1 inch behind the gaurd that I just drilled out. So isnt the WS2 muffler a straight through design? If so, I should be able to drill through the next piece of metal and not have to worry about drilling out the muffler or piping. I tried it a bit and it seems thicker than the gaurd I just drilled out.
Do they have a not so straight throguh design? Is it okay to drill out that metal?
I am assuming the muffler is like:
(Inlet) 0 I I 0 ---->
with the I's being the two screen gaurds.

RE: Apexi WS2
Nope its not loud at all, I can only hear it at startup and I cant hear it over my intake.. It did give me a nice boost in performance, although I put on my header and WS2 at the same time.
I got it for $430 off eBay
Theres other places to get it though, but I found eBay to be the cheapest at the time. Usually no matter where you get it, shipping will be near $100 bucks.
