Anyone try modifying the stock mufflers by inserting a piece of smaller diameter tubing between the input side and one of the outlet pipes (ala A&A mod for the C-5)?

CYA VETT actually modded his stock mufflers by cutting them open and removing the material.

I heard a clip and it sounded nice.

He said they were not OBNOXIUSLY LOUD like Bullets.

I posted a THREAD about this topic, do a search and he talks about it and posts a clip.

I did the A&A mod on my 2001 C5 and was not impressed.

I ended up ordering a set of used Corsa Sports for my 2006 for $400 (they should arrive today), I have a Magnaflow catback on my 2005 that I also bought used for $500.

I was very tempted to do CYAs mod or even buy them from him for $50 as he has sold his car.
