You might consider having this done. You might recall that I'm not using the tabs on my headers---I have that stainless clamp on mine. I get less leakage, but I can still hear it a little bit. I think the three-bolt clamps with the donut gasket is a better solution.

Doug,
Thanks for the feedback, it's very useful.
In essence what I am looking at for 2136 is using the ERA primary pipes and the secondary pipes from their under car exhaust setup, then going with a high performance muffler under the car followed by a simple pipe that is swept back about 70º to 80º with a square cut tip that exits before the rear tire.
The goal is a bit more sound than the under car setup, but a bit quieter than the FIA setup. I can't run the under car setup anyway, as it does not fit with the optional rear suspension.
I'll get the parts and look into your suggestions ... let me know if you try something different on you car.
Thanks!
