Yeah I wouldn't recommend rushing the dynamat install. That's why I'm waiting until I have like 6 days where my car can be in pieces and I don't have to worry.
The amp makes me really curious, because someone did it on here and got great feedback, never complained about the amp tripping the safety. The amp you linked would definitely work but then I can't fit it under the shift console, which I really wanted.

Might as well continue the edit to say that my MOOG endlinks are here, might put them on today. Also ordered the MPFab spacer for the anaconda based on Walker's recommendation to try it with the stock catback first. That will be installed Tuesday.
I'm glad to be wrong on the amplifier front
Yeah, I've done Dynamat several times before, so I know what I'm in for. It's not something I Can commit to until September at least with the rest of my life happening, so we will see how that goes.
I've been concocting a dual-exhaust based on the Anaconda, stock cat back, and a second straight-pipe exhaust with an electric cut-out. Need to hear a few exhausts in person before I decide if it's worth it or not.
