$60 to take parts off your car? hmmm


I think you should do it but I would rather pay $0.

if you like it louder the muffler delete would be the way to go.

resonators do the best job of taking out the 'drone'
its going to be rather loud though, esp. around 2-3k rpms.

I feel, with a 5spd, stock exhaust w/o mufflers would sound very aggressive.
My new sc300 5spd, removed cats and resonators and installed 2.5" piping with Magnaflow mufflers and the raspy sound that came out of it was terrible. Sounded like a honda.. I fixed this by installing a resonator (can't recall what size) and sounds very deep now... I love it!

Any sound clips? Did you just do a muffler delete?
How do you find it? Is it really loud? Would it scream "pull me over" to the cops?

you should post a soundclip so everyone can hear yours now....
many youtube clips i have noticed that they are testing the sound with the engine cold which will produce a completely different sound opposed to when the car is warmed up.
i only have the resonators deleted and it sounds great when its cold, but once the car is warmed up, the noise is literally 50% quieter or even more....
