That sounds amazing for the price! I have zero experience with custom exhaust, any disadvantage/advantages compare with brand name exhaust?
Exhaust mods done

Added Magnaflows this morning with new stainless tips. Exhaust turned out good. Cant hear it at idle or at constant speed on highway. Makes decent sound in the throttle and start up. Will post pics and vid later.

2 Dynomax/Walker 24440 2" resonators $51.00
2.25" Stainless X-pipe $22.00
Labor to delete secondary cats and install x-pipe and resonators $150
2 Magnaflow 11235 2.25"/2.25" stainless mufflers and 2 stainless slant cut rolled tips installed $300
Cost $523 and got exactly what I wanted to achieve. Only thing I would have done different is used 2 2.25" resonators instead of 2". The factory exhaust starts out at 2" then 2.25" after the secondary cats then back down to 2" at the resonators. I may change it up slightly later. Also would probably been about $100 cheaper if I had done it all at once instead of 2 trips.

On a side note, I am very disappointed in the lack of insulation these cars have, compared to my Acura TL. I plan on adding a lot of sound deadening to the trunk area of the car, and will end up with it being even more quiet inside after that.

I’ve also done a secondary cat delete and installed a x-pipe this week along with the axle back exhaust I’ve been having
didmt touch the resonators though, and it has like a f1-like rattling (like the car is blowing a soda can) around 3-5k rpm
do you think that it’s the original resonators not being able to take the new exhaust velocity from the secondary cat delete?
Lemme have your thoughts please, already tried everything...only down to replacing the resonators with an aftermarket one
