I'm sure you will remember to remove the stickers and clean the residue or there will be traces there forever. That's fine for most guys, but I have a feeling that would bother you.

It's a Summit Racing muffler. I got it because it was stainless steel and not too expensive. I think it will be loud.

A wire wheel and some acetone should take care of them.
