That was actually some more of that sarcasm.

I live in Texas and I grew up listening to Silverados "rack their pipes" I am not a fan of annoying muffler sounds. In my opinion it eliminates the point of having a silencer/muffler in the first place.

You need to learn the meaning of SARCASM then.

Sarcasm from Greek σαρκασμός (sarkasmos), 'mockery, sarcasm' is sneering, jesting, or mocking a person, situation or thing. It is strongly associated with irony, with some definitions classifying it as a type of verbal irony intended to insult or wound[1] — stating the opposite of the intended meaning, e.g. using "that's fantastic" to mean "that's awful". It is used in a humorous manner, often harshly, and is expressed through vocal intonations such as over-emphasizing the actual statement or particular words. Use of sarcasm is sometimes viewed as an expression of concealed anger[2] or annoyance. Sarcasm can also be used situationally for e.g. "the chesterfield is so big" when referring negatively to the fact that the chesterfield is actually small.

When I suggested installing Glass Packs on a Yaris I was certainly being sarcastic.

I'll just be strictly business from now on. Enough of the humor.

Didnt come off as sarcasm, because it would actually work.. humm, ill have to second guess everytime you make a 4 word sentence now.

I have two 2.5" glasspacks here in the garage, dont think for a second I didnt take some measurememnts to see if they'd fit.

Well, yes after you commented I realized this is a mod someone else may actually want to do. To me it is absolutly not in my interest to make the car sound like that. I like cars that are so quiet you can't tell if the car is still running when you stop at a traffic light, that's my kind of exhaust. I'll have to take into consideration that everyone else doesn't think the same.
Chris, I'll try to be less self centered.

nope, doesn't fit the sedan for some reason. that's Pilot "something", right? but yeah, it looks too big for it anyway, so i returned it. i want some smaller, like the one from the factory. but for that price, i might as well save a little more to get an actual muffler...
