Default Borla Exhaust w/ Stock Resonators removed...

Hi Guys,

If you all recall gentlebouncer's Magnaflow Exhaust Video clip...

I removed all three stock resonators and it sounds about like his. I think he has a deeper tone due to the Magnaflows vs. the Borlas...

Enjoy...

very niice..... i'm doing that soon i have the tanabe exhaust and it came witresonators on the pipes for it and i had those removed and i'm actually having a shop make me a true dual exuast midpipe.. cuz on the factory exhaust it goes from each header down into 1 pipe with the first resonator sitting alone... i'm gonna have them redo that pipe and have it connect to my tanabe in the rear so each manifold will produce its own exhaust thru each pipe in the rear... i'll let u guys kno how that goes i'm doing that in a couple weeks

You stated (3) resonators were removed. I thought there were only (2); one per side. Was the '3rd resonator' actually the catalytic converter?

Two Long canisters per side plus one right after the cats shaped like a short muffler.

sounds sweet, brent!

been thinking about doing the same, but i am little concerned that, even if i add an x-pipe, my hks system would be too loud without the stock resonators. if i knew it would sound similiar to yours, it would be done already!
