The main thing I'd be concerned about, is; does this setup cause the eng. to run too lean?

Are you overall driving WAY softer? Can you in your driving area actually gradually coast up to speed (very leisurely) instead of put it down acceleration 95% of the time or more? Many hills to contend with? Do you EVER hear it pinging?

I agree w the others, that at least you should extend your pipe further.

What about a freeflow resonator just before exhaust tip!

Last, but not least......trip to dollar store: women's makeup cotton puffs...100 for $1, you break each in half roughly, custom it to your ears, you can usually keep that pair looking clean for at least a week. Think of the value!!!
