    and i love it.

    i got 2.25" piping, cat back, 18" resonator in the midpipe, and straight on back from there (no muffler).
    its loud, but not too loud.
    and the tone is perfect due to the resonator.

    ill get pics and a sound clip up whenever it stops raining/snowing.

    Hope the cops don't mind. Well, a resonator is really just a small muffler. Most these days are actually glasspacks using a metal filler instead of fiberglass. If it starts to annoy you or the po-po starts hasslin' you :laugh: just add another one on. I'm aware of one guy on RS25 with 3 resonators, although, I'm not sure why 3 was the magic number.

    actually, its just below the 93Db level :D

    and heres pics and sound clip.
    sound clip is ****ty due to the wind, but you can still hear it decently well.

    i kinda like it how it is, it looks a little more stealthy to me.
    but im thinkin about putting a tip on it as well.
    undecided at this point.

    its alot louder then it sounds in the video. i was too far away when i shot it.
    ill do another one some other time.

    i wish i could afford a nice system like a perrin or stromung, but i like what ive got now.

    and if i were you, i'd put a resonator in the midpipe, it really evens out the ignitions sounds and makes it more like a hum.

    next exhaust mod, UEL headers :D

    damn dude that is cheap.
    well i like what ive got for now (except i need headers).
    if i stumble accross something for that price, and have the cash, ill definately pick one up though.

    and thanks carl, i think thats why i like it so much. and why is it you have a can on your car anyways?

    well half of it is a muffler and the other half is actually a catalytic converter (required to run one). mainly for noise - the car's have to pass a dB check and without the can it's too loud

    ahhh i see. that makes sense.
    are those actually production pieces?
    or do you need to custom make them for your application?
