Looking under the car I can see that you have the header coming off the engine and it connects to the middle pipe which appears to just be basically the catalytic converter. That then connects to the cat-back which "looks" like it has a muffler immediately attached and then pipe and then another muffler at the end with the tips - is that right? Does the stock Spec V have 2 mufflers or am I missing something??
I kinda like the stock sound but don't like the look of the tips, I was thinking about purchasing a Magnaflow mirror finish muffler and having it welded in place of the stock ending muffler . . . what do you think? Would it give some decent sound?? Would it pick up any hp or tq being that those mufflers as straight through with no restrictions??
Sorry for the long email and thanks.

The spec v has two cats one in the exhaust manifold and one under the car at the midpipe connection point. The next thing in line is the factory resonator and then the muffler. As for the muffler you may pick up a few hp, but I doubt it the stock system is designed pretty well.
