Little project for Saul.
Started with some plate and cut out a thin flange:
Cut a hole in it big enough for the exhaust tip Saul provided (he bought one way too big cuz he wanted that aggressive look).
Put the pipe thru the hole with a slight down angle to prevent bumper melting and welded the backside. Ground the weld smooth so it should seat up well. This step was a little difficult, the pipe tip was very very thin and almost all chrome, the weld puddle was a little hard to control.
Weight of his old stock muffler 16.6 lbs according to my bathroom scale:
Weight of the delete tip <1 lbs:

I was unable to get recordings going 4500+ rpm but it actually sounds better (still loud) at the higher end of the tach.
That is how my T1R cat back is. It's pretty in vtec.
You had mentioned lugs before, but those look like through bolts. Can you exchange with the car on the ground? Probably doesn't matter since you will have it up changing wheels/tires anyway.
