The exhaust:
phase 1) removed resognator and pretended not to hear bad cackle
phase 2) had local muffler shop cut off everything south of the flex and install 2.5". Custom y just north of the fuel tank into two generic glass packs. It was way to loud, especially the drone at low rpm under load. Drove it that way for a day or two. I drive 10 hours a week and couldn't handle it!!! Those two glass-packs I had them put in loud side in (they have two directions for the internal bumps).
phase 3) for just the cost of the extra, much larger glass pack (he called it resognator, about $38), he cut out the straight pipe south of flex and north of Y-pipe and installed that larger resognator quiet side up.
This pretty much did the trick. with the 7" AFE cone filter it sounds so very very bad when you are getting on it from INSIDE THE CAR. However, the very little experience that I have had hearing my own car go down the streat full throttle it doesn't sound too good at all. Also, under 1200 rpm or so load it still does drone a bit much. I really want to put something else under there. Maybe flowmaster 40s or something? They probably won't fit as nice though.
The tips are just one of several that he had laying around. I like them cuz they are bevelled and always look very tough. He did a good job getting everything even and sqaure. I know that I really took a chance going to joe muffler but I couldn't decide borla, svt, bassani, yodude.
