I've got a lot of rumble with my setup... Stock frontpipe, stockmidpipe (with extra vibrant resonator installed). Gruppe-s UEL header and top speed pro-1 axleback. I can feel the rumble through even the headrest, and yet its perfect for daily driving. No rasp, no buzzing. The extra resonator is a must.
If you want to make this 4 cylinder sound good you have to put in time, effort, and money. |

I have the original OFH. (The one you had to get on a waiting list way back when.) Attached to a V1 Manzo Catback. This is the original Manzo I got on Ebay for about 300 bucks. Everything had perfect fitment and sounded fantastic. After about 4 years or so the resonator started rattling. Manzo (assholes) would not sell me just the resonator so I found one on Ebay that was about the same size. Bought a cheapo POS welder and learned how to use it. I'm much better at cutting metal than joining it! Got rid of the rattle and it sounds great. Idleing it sounds just like a V8. I get more compliments on the car's sound than anything else. Everyone says it sounds really powerful. I quit telling people that it really isn't. 6 years later it's still in almost new condition (except for the original resonator of course). So not all Chinese crap on Ebay is junk. |

I highly recommend the Perrin catback. I run the 2.5 after a tomei uel and OP, and a catted FP. No rattle or rasp anywhere and it's got a nice throaty rumble all the way up the tach. It's not the ej rumble but I love it. Cruising down low in the revs is nice and deep but get her up around 5000 or up and it's a different animal. That all being said I still find myself wanting a little more volume some days. Like if I could keep the same tone just be a little louder I'd be pumped so maybe the 3in would give you that.

And boy does she rumble. Regular driving and Idle is A little louder than stock with a noticeable rumble and when you get on it she SCREAMS. Maybe going something similar like that might make you happy.
