Thanks for the comments and opinions. The exhaust is fine the way it is. I will never get anything with duals (or gut a stock system for that matter)again. You are talking to the self-proclaimed exhaust guy. I have had more exhaust setups then I can count on both of my hands. This is by far the best for performance and sound. It in no way sounds ricey; it has a deep mellow tone even at upper rpms. This is the best I will get with my race header/big pipes setup on the Zetec.
