I have the Nameless exhaust delete and there is a strong resonance at 2-2500 rpm and it is pretty bad with the windows up. Not too bad with a window cracked. There is another resonance at just over 4k, but that one is not as bad. Of course, we get what we pay for. Resonance elimination is not one of the design parameters of a muffler delete...

This thread made me go to my local shop because I just couldn't wait any longer for that nice deep burble from the flat 4. My local shop did it for me for about $290 (thanks CA tax) with nice 4" double walled tips and 2.25" piping. It's loud but in an amazing way. I can also confirm that at 2100 RPM and again at 3700 RPM, there is some drone. On the freeway on 6th gear, there is not much noise (cruising). I'm enjoying it, but the wifey is not liking it. Sigh.

We just bought out the first batch of these dual exit muffler deletes from Berk, waiting on a couple pictures and then will be hosting a group buy with free shipping on the first run.

as soon as I can get under my car, I am doing this video. I have the test pipe waiting to go in. My wife has volunteered to help me install it since my shoulder is in pieces.

Any chance of larger tips?

I'll post some driving videos later today.

BERK made a one off custom dual exit muffler delete pipe for the OP. BERK is planning to release a dual exit muffler delete pipe along with a full catback system soon.

That is the very definition of a "keeper"

I prefer not to replace the OEM center section due to various issues I have seen occurring from other user here in the forums. Most definitely replacing the front pipe and shelving the OEM muffler. I like being able to revert it incase I ever have to deal with emissions issues. I may do the overpipe, but I will probably wait till it goes down in price. I can't justify paying 300.00 + for a pipe a third the length of a bell mouth down pipe.

Here's some in car video. The rattling noise is my camera in the mount, not the exhaust. Hopefully this captures enough of what people want to hear. I tried various driving scenarios. There is some WOT around 2:20 in.

In for the win on this piece!

Single exit systems look too tacky on a BRAND new car with a rear bumper integrated to fit a dual exit exhaust system IMO.

Cant wait!

Thanks for the vid, jeebus. Love me some Highland Valley! I hit that road on my lunch break sometimes (work in Poway).
