Default Finally got an Exhaust

Ok well thanks to Aaron from http://www.rabidchimp.com I now have a sweet sounding exhaust. It's rear Y pipe back and doesn't drone or anything just makes it sound like a V8 for once. This gets rid of 6 bends and the 2 rear resonators. My SC has a center resonator instead of a cat like some of the other SC's but I'm sure he'll be offering a center cat version as well. I can now get the back end to step out when I want it to and spin the tires from a stand still which I couldn't before. It's all mandrel bent 2.5" Pipe back to 2 Magnaflow mufflers. This exhaust will soon be offered for sale through Rabid Chimp too. Here's the only pics I have and they are from my cell but enjoy anyways.

I dont think you gained enough HP to make a difference in your tire spinage. Looks good though.

My old mufflers were filled with water I was told and compared to the old Y pipe system this is much more of a straight shot. See the first pic of the old Y pipe system compared to the new. So it has increased the old butt dyno a little. We may toss on the old system to get numbers for when he starts selling them.

Well best I can do is record with my cell and try and figure out how to upload it but due to differences in quality of the recording device and peoples computer speakers I don't believe it would do it justice.

I guess he never figured out how to upload a sound clip from his phone. Should sound pretty good.
