Thought I'd add this since it's applicable. Here is my dyno of the SRT headerback. And @Subaruwrxfan, I wish go pros had better mics. It doesn't completely describe how sexy the exhaust sounds from outside the car.



Unless my car is a beast stock, this thing definitely added power.

anyone know if it's the small or large resonators on this video?

it is the small resonator, the "large one" is by request I believe. Plus as everyone is noticing - the exhaust quiets down because resonators DO break in. Take that into consideration.

Exhaust had broke in now for sure and I to report the tone had hushed a bit I kinda wish I got the larger one haha but that's okay I think it still sounds great. No drone as well!

I have the larger resonator if period wasn't a vid tho I have no go pro so driving clips will be from inside and after I'm finish being sick.

Does anyone know if Mo is shipping the catbacks at all? If not, any estimates?

I wasn't able to call him this week because my work schedule was insane, but I'm getting very worried that I've received no responses from him so far.

Mine has quieted down a bit over time. I love it and still think getting the larger resonator was a good decision.

I spoke with Mo Tuesday or Wednesday morning and he mentioned they are going to start making them next week.

However, (this is speculative) I think that may have been contingent on the test fit for the headerback going smoothly. I saw a post yesterday that said it didn't go so well and another auto would be coming in on Wednesday of next week. Not sure what impact this will have on the catbacks getting fabbed and shipped.
I hope I'm wrong.

I appreciate the information, but to be clear, I am talking about a normal 6MT catback. I ordered it the 2nd week of August and it is now almost October, and the last I heard it would ship the last week of August or first week of September. I didn't order one for 6 AT, so I don't believe I should have to wait for that issue to be ironed out.

There's no resonator issue for me or anything, either.

Yeah, I have the small one. Almost requested the larger one, but I'm glad I didn't, it's perfect with the small one for me.
