Thanks man! I need to get my Plasti Dip. I just don't feel like it right now, though.
My 1998 Acura Integra SE; revised, refreshed, and restarted.

Want to drive to Alabama and bring it to me?
Just kidding. Nah; I'm going to need 3-4 cans probably to paint what I'm wanting to do. One of my buddies is somewhat of a Plasti Dip expert, and that's how much he guestimated that I'd need.

Haha. I don't have to worry about vandalism, really. My mom said that if my car gets vandalised that she'll find the person and press charges. She paid for half my paint job and doesn't want it messed up.

I didn't drive it. My buddy did. I helped him clean and work on it.

So, I wasn't planning on doing anything with my exhaust until I had money saved up to re-do it all with 2.25" piping and stuff, but I found a deal on a Dynomax Race Bullet muffler that I couldn't pass up on. It was 3" inlet/3" outlet (should be fine on my 2" pipe), 6.5" overall length with a 3.62" case (you read that right), and full stainless steel for $17.. I couldn't pass it up, and I'll be attempting to sell my MagnaFlow Race Series for $80. It's got about 11k miles on it and I paid almost twice that brand new.

I decided to sit down and figure out how I would want to route my exhaust. I wanted to do something unique, and I wanted to be able to do it with what I have for the piping already. The piping, if possible, will be re-used to save on costs. The entire reasoning for me switching mufflers is so I can possibly get some extra money.
Here's what I came up with. The drawing took almost an hour on Paint.
Granted, the bends will be smoother, but this is the idea. Thoughts?

So, I got my new muffler put on. It sounds amazing, and I'm thrilled with it. I'll post pictures and describe it more tomorrow, but right now, I'm slightly aggravated. I got a speeding ticket for going 70-mph in a 50-mph zone on the way home and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to pay for it.

Yeah, but it's okay. It could've been a wreck instead of a ticket, so I'm thankful that it wasn't.
I'm starting to calm down a little bit (barbecue chicken tends to help with that, ha-ha), so I may post the picture I took with my cell phone here shortly. The picture is a little crooked, but it doesn't look terrible.

If the cop was about 1/4-1/2 mile further down the road closer to where I was coming from, I'd probably be in jail right now, so we'll call it even.
I'll post the pic in a minute. I'm sending it to my e-mail.

Here's the muffler installed. Not quite the way I drew out, but I like it.
Pardon the sloppy picture. I'll try and get some better ones tomorrow.
It is NOT a fart can, so please don't call it one.
