Has any tried with this exhaust since you loose like 50lbs with this exhaust....take the back carpet out and put some sound reading material and some close cell foam to cut down on the cabin noise and drone noise you get?
It would not take that much to do this and since you loose so much weight with the exhaust and by adding a few pieces of sound reading panels and then with some close cell foam would not add that much weight back...just maybe a 1lb or 2

Unfortunately that would not solve the cabin noise or drone noise. While I have not used sound deadening material, I have had the back completely packed with stuff that would absorb/muffle sound and it made minimal difference

I saw on sw website that with the track exhaust it won't throw any CEL.

Being in CA, do you have issues with SMOG inspections?

That's correct no codes either as it's after the 02 sensors and cats.
