I do not believe that there was any changes in the Ti cat back exhaust. Any Ti system from 01-04 should be the same.

Does your new ride have added insulation in the interior?

You are fairly certain the previous owner did not have the carpet pulled for the rear area and an insulation kit installed?

Otherwise, agree all the same 2001 onwards.

My TI exhaust has gotten louder over the years, I think the internal baffles are failing.
