Magnaflow tips -- the part number is the same as another guy who did the same thing. In the end im VERY happy with how it came out. I could not justify spending 600+ dollars just to have a slightly different sound with no "nice" performance gain. I already have the sound I like anyways from my RP Supercat midpipe.
The stock tips were very tiny and thats one thing I REALLY wanted to fix, but i didnt want to spend all that money for a true exaust. (dont get me wrong if i had an extra 600-700 just LAYING around I'd love to get a Racing beat REV8.
Anyways - let me know what you think

Did the muffler shop cut the pipe behind the muffler or were they able to loosen the U clamp and take the muffler off that way?

The muffler shop had to just cut the stock pipe/tips off as they were not able to get them loose.
The sound: is freaking awesome -- its all due to my RP Supercat though... when you are in a cold start its kinda raspy and weird sounding but once it warms up its awesome. More kick and grunt then the stock. I'm sure it would sound even better if i had the Racing Beat REV8, but I will only do that once I have my Axial Flow Supercharger installed heh

I honestly don't care if people know my license plate... hundreds of strangers see if every day, so why not yall :-p I thought it would be funny to 888-888 my plate though for the pics.
