Just curious... I bypassed my resonator just before T-giving, and it sounds sweet (as well as giving me a 10% power boost), but I want even sweeter, and a turbo muffler or glasspack might be the ticket. However, I don't want to put a dual cat-back on--yet--and I WON'T cut the bumper for a straight-tailpipe; I'll dish out for an SVT bumper first. But I haven't seen any 12-to-14" glasspack anywhere. Tailpipes shouldn't be a hassle; I've seen angled ones that look stylish. But is there anything else out there, so I don't have to piecemeal? I'd like a straight tip, but to satisfy my no-cut-bumper edict, the tail would need to bend around the bumper. Unfortunately, there aren't any FWD speed shops in the Quad Cities, and if there were, they'd cater to Honda, Mitsubishi, Toyota and Focus.

17HP/17TQ from removing the resonator!!!
Damn... That rocks... :rolleyes:
...anyway...
Baffled (turbo) mufflers suck. Glasspacks are worse...
Get a straight through design muffler...

My thoughts exactly Demon.
Ms. Thompson, I think that you should get a good straight through muffler as well. However, when you do you may want a resonator back in there as well to fix the drone. Otherwise it'll sound like a honda with a garbage can muffler.
