Thanks, I appreciate it. Right now I think I'll go with the Livernois 93 tune. Seems pretty straightforward and should give the Sport the bump I'm looking for.
Rgds, Fred
Love love love the Livernois 93 V2 Hi Boost. I cannot express how happy I have been with it....
Did it, love it! Will be checking on the Magnaflows with a local shop next week. Need a little sound improvement to go with the LMS 93 tuneLove love love the Livernois 93 V2 Hi Boost. I cannot express how happy I have been with it....

Spoke to Ripleys Exhaust today (well known and recommended in the Houston area). I'm taking the Sport in tomorrow morning for a consultation and recommendation. I'll keep you guys posted.The Magnaflows are the way to go. Have the shop cut off the old ones and place the magnaflows in place before they weld them on. This way you can determine if you like the sound (which you will trust me).

not the XL, it's the straight through, 2 #12225 I think. To be confirmed in the morning.What series magnaflow?
Done and I love it YMMV of course because sound is a subjective thing. Excellent work by Ripleys. They knew exactly what I was looking for. Here's the parts list for my install. Other MFs will also fit, so talk to your installer :
(2) MF 4x9 oval # 11225 (14" body, 20" overall, 2.25" in and out)
(2) 1/2" hangers
(2) Black stainless 4" tips, powercoated (slash cut doublewall like the orgs)
From the outside :
- Great, deep murmer at idle
- no videos yet (coming soon)
- no chance yet for me to hear it other than at idle
From the inside :
- Perfect for me under acceleration
- smooth murmer at 70mph under partial throttle, quiet when running free, no drone anytime.
Performance :
- very subjective. Feels quicker and freer revving but who knows. I'll get some 0-60 times when I have a chance. It is sometimes chirping the tires on the 1-2 upshift.
Love it, love it, love it ! Great job Ripleys. Here's a couple of pics.
Edit : added an additional pic of the black stainless steel tip.

Hi Fangelillo, Thanks a lot, it's your thread and video clip that convinced me to give it a try. The tip choice is really important acoustically as well as cosmetically. When I saw these tips I knew they were the ones for me. I don't know the ID after they open up from the 2.25" connection, but it's around 3" or more and they flare out internally to match the 4" OD in the last 3/4" or so. Great for the sound quality and projection (similar to the end of a trumpet or other horn but a much lower tone thanks to the larger diameter of the exhaust tip). I picked the power coated black over the natural stainless to match my black and white theme for the Sport and to pay homage to the flat black ceramic coated quad tips that I had on my XKR (man I miss that car).I told you!!! This is the best option by far because it sounds the best. The deep sound that they create is awesome. I love your choice of tips. That's what is up next for me and the x-pipe. Currently I had them just put the factory tips back on. Where did you get the tips from? I have to find a powdercoat guy for the black. Well done sir

Check with Tommy or Rodney at Ripleys Muffler in Houston. I don't have their contact info at hand, but just google them and call the FM 1960 location for info on the tips. They do a lot of enthusist car work and they have a large selection of everything exhaust related.
Hmm, now there's an idea. And maybe replace the "ecoboost" emblem with a Livernois 3D black and silver oval.Glad I could be some help. Now you have to black out that Sport emblem.
