Re: thinking of doing DX to SI swap? please read

I've been having trouble logging in lately, so I haven't been able to update the thread. I got it finished up about a month or so ago. I ended up taking lxndr's advice and moved the fuel pump to the rear by the tank, and was able to reuse the Si regulator and added an aftermarket glass fuel filter. I had to replace a bad oil pan gasket already. Also, I installed a cold air intake and it runs and sounds great! Right now I just have the header bolted into the factory exhaust, so this Wednesday I am having the exhaust done because it is just choking the air flow. I am going to run a single in-duel out muffler and have duel pistol tips on either side of the license plate. I am trying to do some research on mufflers because I really don't want it to sound like that stereotypical Auto Zone "wanna be" import muffler sound, but a nice throaty, less obnoxious sound. I have always been an 8 cylinder guy until this, so I'm not sure what I'm looking for yet. Other than that, I still have some wiring to finish up, the distributor leaks a little oil so I need to put a new o-ring in it, and my water pump is slightly leaking, but that's all that's left. Every day I run it, it wears in more and keeps getting stronger. I am anxious to see where it tops out. Any muffler advice would be appreciated as I need to make that decision in the next couple of days.
