My guess is he had some kind of air filter like stillen or perhaps frankencar and a y-pipe. Those two together would give him a pretty deep sound especially at around 3500rpms and above.

You are right there, but he couldve also removed the resonator to help make the sound deeper.

Maybe we can make our own Y-Pipe with the leftover dryer-duct from the last oscai attempt

Total Cost:
$9.67 - dryer-duct & rubber bands

or the better upgrade:

$14.55 - dryer-duct & mounting clamps

Anyone want to give it a shot?

maybe it's just an aftermarket exhaust that looks just like the stock exhaust.. or he changed the piping but kept the stock muffler..

FREE FLOW CAT?...

Perhaps it was a free-flow cat w/stock muffler?

BTW: Any 2k2 owners have positive results with the Free-flow cat?... Perf. numbers would be nice

Thanks,
