I'll probably do a before and after video and then list what I did.

that is the muffler i have, with tp and 2.75 exhaust... it has a wicked drone, so if that is not your style, get a resenator

So, I made the before video, what a joke. I think there is more noise from the front of the engine then their is coming from the back of the car.

Going to the shop tomorrow, it's a toss up right now on keeping the resonator or cutting it off, I think I'm going to cut it off.

My friend had his 14816 installed today and deleted the mid-muffler. It is F-*-C-K-I-N-G L-O-U-D. Deafening at full throttle, deep and droning at steady cruise. I'd seriously install the muffler first and see what you think. If for some masochistic reason you feel it's too quiet, go back and cut out the resonator.

I can tell you for myself, when I get mine, no way in hell am I removing the mid-muffler. I want to hear myself think.

I will be 100% sure to mention that my tips don't stick out like that. Holy crap dude, that looks like something your bound to cut your leg on.

ImTheDevil I think I will just get it put on and perhaps later on get a HFC and a nicer resonator. I would of had mine installed today, but my wife was sick, and by the time I got around to calling any of the shops at 2pm they where all packed. Gonna try first thing in the morning.

I'm pretty disappointed that I listened to some of you. It doesn't sound any different over stock with the stock resonator on the car. And I'm doubly disappointed in my exhuast shop, I told them to try not to make it stick out like a Honda, and it looks just like turbo kraut's.

It sticks out and looks ridiculous and there was plenty of room for it to go further back.

Guess I'll just have to go to another shop and do this all over.
