A highly recommended tool if you are DIY is a throttle cable ball/cup screwdriver pry tool thing. I got it from a place that sells Mercedes Benz tools, and is the only thing that I found to reliably and repeatedly remove the cup from the throttle link ball with no damage to anything. Also the shift link adjustable rod on the Numeric racing site is fantastic. All metal, and replaces the all plastic link that comes stock. You can also adjust out all of the slop that occurs in the fore/aft shift plane.
My "S" came factory stock with custom headers, so I left them on and went with a Borla cat-back muffler system. I actually do not recommend them. I had to do quite a bit of cutting, test fitting, bending, re-fitting, etc etc until everything fit as well as I could without a hydraulic pipe bender. It sounds great though. Looks great too.

My car is PDK thank goodness.
No muffler, just stock but think they might be sports mufflers from factory. Not sure. I am not too interested in sound anymore as I have many aftermarket mufflers and exhaust systems. Can't deal with drowning anymore. Getting too old for that carp. I do have to get a pipe bent up for the CArgraphic header to fit into the existing muffler. I am having the work done be because I don't the time and have no clue what the heck I am doing.
