Question
I too own a newer 03" style tracker
I want to raise the pipe that is basically the main concern on my mind when traversing water

so should I look towards cutting the bumper and getting a pipe pointed through?

Just route it right through the floorboards... then you'll have extra heat in the winter, too

well I got an appt. at Midas Muffler today a 4pm.

Free estimate and I'll find out then if I need a new cat or not.
If so I will get a good high-flow if possable.

I heard that the thicker the pipeing the deeper the sound, Is that true?

Well just got back from Midas.

Good news is all I needed was a new tailpipe. Paid $30

Bad news is that my rotors are shot. So I had to go to Autozone and order rotors at $80 each   and a set of pads too. In all it came up to $210  

I wanted to get a new cat-back system but the wife was complaining too much so I decided to make her happy and just get the tailpipe fixed and she said well what happened to getting a new muffler? So I said I'm saving us money and just getting the tailpipe thinking she'd be happy about that. She just said "OH" But then I told her about needing new rotors and how much they were and she started yelling about spending too much money on my Tracker.  

bitch bitch bitch lol

Why replace the cat
you have a newer trucklet and
cats are expensive, just get a
muffler shop to install a new
2" cat back with a muffler, ask
them what they have for sound,
I had a quiet muffler put on, and
it still had some engine sound, the
whole system cat back cost $175

Couldn't of said it better myself.

I run the the Calmini cat-back muffler and their 2" pipe.  It makes a great sound, not to loud and looks great!

Just take the front brakes off her car and see how quickly she wants those replaced

LOL I'd do it but she probably not even notice anything was wrong.  

Plus I don't want to kill her or our unborn child either.

Then do something harmless like unplug half the plug wires

She still wouldn't notice anything wrong. LOL

Typical woman.

Man, if you want neglegence induced automotive hilarity, work at an oil change place... the amount of young ladies that don't know anything about their cars, then come in in tears because their check engine/oil light is on because they went 12k miles on the oil change and now the engine is making 'funny noises' is staggering.

My wife was complaining about the
cost of replacing the master cylinder
in an old Volvo that I had, it was like
$40.

So I said "and it would be cheeper
to ram up sombodys back end when
I can't stop ?"

She shut right up
