Message section but would like to hear what you guys think first.

First off, my sz exhaust sounds amazing at WOT on the highway. And it
appears to be made of high quality materials and engineering. Here's the
problem; if driving in stop and go traffic or around town I find myself
constantly adjusting my driving in order to avoid that pesky 2k'ish drone.
It's not horribly load but I guess I am quite the sissy and would just
prefer stock level exhaust notes.

It involves driving very lightly and shifting way to soon. I don't have to
drive this car so it could be just a track/weekend car but that's really not
what I want.

My car is old(I suppose they all are) and has a lot of miles...180,xxx. It's
in great mechanical shape but is far from show room condition. I just
want to drive it(a lot!) and not be paranoid about hurting it. I really
would like to avoid anything that would make me not want to drive it
often.


To be clear I wish to retain the sz dp's, tp's and x pipe but re-install
stock muffler sections.
Anyways, this is what I am pondering:

How much of a bottleneck would the stock muffler section create?

Is the muffler section even the root cause of the loader then stock
exhaust sound?

If I were to replace the pipe section with 2.5" piping that flowed better
with less of a bend(like the sz's) would that make any difference or will
the stock mufflers negate the piping improvements?

And lastly, anyone have a good set of stock mufflers?
