If your thinking of replacing a resonator, Go with a magnaflow. Thats what I have , only time its raspy is when i just start the car and the exhaust is cold. Other than that it sounds great.

I have a video of my exhaust but now I have the same setup just with a cat.

So they extended it so the tips sit flush w/ the bumper?

Ya if i go w/ the stainless magnaflow resonator i wont ever have to replace it cuz i read these thrush glasspacks dont last that long. I guess theres a reason they're only $30. Since ive already got it in hand, I might just go ahead and get it installed and see if it helps at all then replace it when its time to.

I had the rattle too, I took a 2" piece of high temp water hose from my dad's tractor, and wedged it between the pipe and the x-member. No more rattle.

It will melt... Trust me.

I did the same with my Cattman exhaust and it melted through after a few weeks.

Heard this exhaust on BostonA33's 5th gen in person. Sounds mean but not too loud. Definitely a fan, but waiting for the 5.5 gen clip!

The price is not bad either. I called to see if I could just get the rear and he said that it wouldn't bolt up correctly w/o their b-pipe... which makes me wonder why it's called "OE"- RS.

Zero2sixtyZ, if you've heard Cattman in person, which would you say is louder between that and BostonA33?

I believe the OE is regarding the style, as in a dual tip for us looking similar to stock. I did hear the full cattman but from a distance. At our last Burlington local meet, one of the members had a full cattman system, headers out, but we only heard it when he left. Hopefully I can get a exhaust comparison at our next meet as long as it doesn't cause too much noise/trouble.

Sounds really nice. I'm convinced this sounds very similar to the Cattman, 'cept Megan has metal "honeycombing" in the canister...

Why would there be a o2 sensor behind the cat for the exhaust?

Yep, I agree. It sounds very similar, looks similar(but polished), and Cheaper
(prolly made in China, Korean, or other low labor country).

I dont seem to be......yet (knock on wood.) Oil dipstick is never low, never see any black/blue smoke coming out the back like soonerfan describes, 5% tint in the back doesnt help though, no timing chain rattle. I do notice that though now that you point it out.

Are you tuned or untuned? Cause if you havn't tuned your car that is prob why we see the black/blue smoke.
