Hey man!! I saw you at Napierville 2 weeks ago.

I heard this sound guys, first I taught it was a 3.5 with a bad tunning.
But for a 3.0, not bad! You have to be here to judge, a clip is bad.

Well... got myself an appointment this afternoon at the "muffler shop" to install a MAGNAFLOW muffler.

Gotta put something to quiet down the "noise"

My feeling is that w/o the resonator car has better response after 3500-4000 rpm's (tried with & w/o it).

If you want great response and still refine the sound a bit then just get "straight through" bullet type resonators. I dont think any car outside of maybe exotics sounds great with true straight pipes.

seeing as you're planning on doing a turbo, a 3'' cat back would have been a better choice.

oh and it sounds like ****.

This is just a temporary set-up... not to get "bothered" by LE.

Now it has a good mellow sound! To me it sounds like the exhaust of a 350Z.
