So I'm hoping some '05 MCS owner will upgrade their exhaust to an aftermarket and have no need for their stock one and I can ****** it up for a steal.
Should be someone out there. But don't take my word for it about the hangers! YMMV, don't try this at home, professional driver on a closed course, etc. - all the standard disclaimers.

I, too, love the standard '05 exhaust. Wouldn't want it any louder - I do like to listen to the stereo once in a while! Here's a tip: when you want to hear the car a little more, flop the rear seatbacks down! (I just discovered this.)
