Finally posting a "build" thread. The progression of my stupidity.

[Rocket Man]

At some point I chopped off the resonator. Sounded the same, looked better from the rear.
Then swapped the factory muffler to a Walker 22004 4"in-4"out, 27"x8.25" case, chambered muffler(didn't know what it was specifically. Got rid of the stock garbage muffler though.

Got my whipple kit.(january-february 2021) As of this post, it's still not installed sadly.
Installed the adjustable king shocks on the rear.
Got an alignment.
Installed the Hank Hill intake (bwaaaaaa). Corsa CAI.
Added a pre filter.

8-9 months and you haven’t installed that Whipple? Mine was finished a few days after I got it.

Installed a Stainless Works 3'5" single catback.
Got a puncture, had to use the spare.
Patched it. Went for a canyon/hill cruise in the middle of the night.
Found out what the burning plastic smell was for a few weeks, left the muffler dump before the axle until I finished it, melted the crud out of me helper bag.
Got rid of the 3" stainless Works straight through muffler and added a 4"v-band and flex-pipe directly off the cat.
Swapped on a Walker school bus muffler. 4" outlet, 3.5" inlet, 30"x11.5"x8.25" case.

They weren't on there long enough. I only put maybe 100 miles on those tires before I got rid of them. Tread life was okay, they were about 5 years old, and one of them wouldn't hold air so I just got rid of them and put on the AT/MT hybrid.
