    Quick question:

    When removing the stock silencer, do you need to take out the precats and cats, or is there a way to slip it out while leaving them in place?

    Being a bit neurotic, I went ahead and pulled it all, which was actually pretty easy. I am going to get all new donuts, and one bolt is stripped. I think having it all loose will help get a good fit. The Capristo is now hanging in it's new home, looking good.

    The only questions is, to hyperflow or not to hyperflow?

    I would have done hyperflows, had I known how hard it would be to scrape the old donut residue off the cats. Anyway, got it back together today and went for a little drive. This is a Capristo level 2, everything else stock. It is just a little louder, but it is nice. Certainly not as big a sound difference as a level 2 on a 355. Like most Capristos, it has a more metallic sound, not much bass, no droning. Personally, I like it better than the Tubi. At some point, I will do the cats as well. It is raining now, but I will try to get some video and post it in the next couple of weeks.
