If that was only 2k rpms and she's SUPPOSED to spin faster than that normally, this thing is going to need a muffler. The noise gets pretty ridiculous.

do you still have the gas V6 muffler system laying around?

I used my stock muffler in my swap, and just put in a straight pipe where the catalytic converter was. Saved a bunch of money on exhaust work.
