What i also love about it, is that the whole rear end looks factory cause im not a fan of big shinny chrome tips and all that .
    ahh . . i get it ! sweet ! .. but see with a VR you get a nice tip .. with a CL you get a skinny looking thing that just looks ugly .. so i will be looking into a Muffler as well .. so your ride doesn't sound too loud or anything ?

    fair enough mate, maybe have a look at other less expensive options before you go all out and be a baller haha , the exhaust shop will be able 2 line up a few different setups for you 2 hear and make your own judgement . what i know is that im pretty sure that the suitcase needs 2 be removed whether or not you replace the rear muffler . the design of the suitcase is very efficient, because i actually had the exhaust shop line up a few aftermarket tips with the rear muffler removed and suitcase still in place but there was hardly any exhaust note . so i had them reverse it by putting the original rear muffler back on and removing the suitcase and i was very happy with it . No drone and no drama from the POPO !

    Deleting the centre muffler on a CL sounds good and is cheap!

    I have a magnaflow 2.25". Performance wise, for around town, it is better then my old 2.5" straight through system. This is on a VR6 mind you. But why? Because of SCIENCE (ie, volumetric efficiency as already mentioned). It had crap low end, and insane top end. But you cant pull 6k rpm in peak hour (...without being a tool). I cant imagine anything above 2" will do you much good on a 4cyl though.

    Anyway, best of luck with your decision!
