So at the last Sebring event the car got a bit louder.. having already lost a few ACE header studs/nuts I figured it was just that.. checked all my random bolts for that and they were still there.

Dropped the exhaust to drop the trans and found this....

Close up of that resonator:

And the broken welds in front...

Now.. I can't blame MXP or say that the CompRS is a POS.. because this exhaust came off a car that was high sided on rocks... and this huge dent was pre existing damage:

We will be just welding in a straight pipe instead of the resonator piece for our future champ car FRS/BRZ.
