Approximately how much did that cost? And that was a full cat-back, not an axle-back?

They're legit. And the owner is honest. I brought my own muffler and it was $300. That's less than half the price of what the kits are selling for.

Sounds very good

That sounds great. Now that you've had it for a little, what is your opinion on it? Sound, performance, etc?

Tim_Asphalt_FRS · 09-18-2012, 11:05 AM

I like it. I really want to remove the little box type resonator from the factory front pipe, and see how that sounds. I have a feeling it'll just make it better. I have to keep the factory cat because of the CA smog nazis. I got the cat back when I had 950 miles on the car and was still breaking it in, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I noticed my mpg go up a bit. The car feels quick, but I need a tune.

I'm at the exhaust shop getting it removed. He said its a chamber that eliminates in cabin drone. I told him to take it out anyways. I think it'll help it sound better since its not exactly straight flowing.

Dude!!!! Please post videos/results /and opinions.. i have been curious about that thing too.

Tim_Asphalt_FRS · 09-28-2012, 08:16 PM

It's not much louder, maybe a little, but does sound a little more raspy. I wanted it removed more for the better air flow.
