I previously had the Trubendz non-res w/ magnaflow on the car, and wih the swap I added MSDS headers and a Trubendz Hiflow y-pipe w/ cat. The car is rediculously noisy and I want to tone it down a few steps. I figured the best thing to do would be to add some mufflers or resonators in the back before the tips. I'm sort of looking for the cheapest route to achieve this since school is starting in 2 weeks and all my money is going to books. I figure with anything I get, I'm going to have to vut out a section of the trubendz kit to fit a M/R in the spot. What I'm looking for is a suggestion of a M/R that will help sedate my exhaust pretty well, and has the inlet/outlet in the same spot on each side, so that my exhaust will stay aligned. I'm open to suggestions... (and those who want to say search can stick that flame up there @$$. I didn't find anything helpful enough.) 2000 Contour SVT SF - #542 of 2150

And on top of the res I'll have to buy a pipe cutter and an expander. NVM Just read the stickies...hehe. Last edited by posthuman63t; 08/17/06 08:46 AM. 2000 Contour SVT SF - #542 of 2150
