Got pics of the install of the 12's? Curious where you put them (assuming on the sides of the trunk??)
Brakes are a snap to do - very straight forward and simple. There are some anti-rattle springs that are tricky to replace (connect to the pads themselves). Most people I know just don't re-use the springs, but with a little patience and some masking tape, they go back in prettty easy.
I know some people using Dynomax "Ultra Flow's" and plan to use the same. I've heard some good reports of Apexi's N1's as good mufflers too. Do a search, this question has been juggled around before. Remember there are different mufflers for different tastes. Removing any part of the factory exhaust results in a very noticable sound increase, so be careful. The more you replace, the more difficult it becomes to control the sound, so make sure the shop that does the work really knows the science behind exhaust systems. There is more to it than just weldin' in mufflers.
Hope it helps,
Keith
