If this is all correct, for me it would boil down to money and hassle. If the time, money, and trouble it's going to take to make the switch is substantially cheaper than putting an aftermarket set on later, then I'd say go for it. But if the costs (when all things are considered) are close I'd say just wait and put an aftermarket set on that you really like.

Yes that's exactly it. The reason I had both those pics was that I had it in Meineke the other day and was going to do the switchover and did not. At the last minute I thought that maybe the stock muffler was not a stock muffler. It was because of the size of it and the sound. As I mentioned, the stock one is thicker and throatier sounding and a tad quiter than the cat-back. I just feel caus of the catback being $900 and aftermarket, that is should be better than the stock muffler, which it may not be...

The time for me is no problem, as it will also get me away from this darn message board obsession for a bit too Also the cost to switch both was at the most $125, but he said they had to fudge them a bit to get them to fit because of the ariride, I think. It wasn't a straight forward exchange for some reason...
