Just pulled the trigger and installed a Vibrant Ultra Quiet 3" resonator. To quiet down my 3" non-resonated Milltek exhaust. The Vibrant resonator worked like a charm. Made my exhaust note quieter by almost half. Nice and deep and not to loud.

I remember this guy once, a long long time ago, he had this new exhaust that was just waiting to be installed. What was his name again? Chris something or another I think...

I wonder what ever happened to that guy

Swapped out my Samco TIP for an APR replacement today.

I gotta say that the fitment on the APR piece was much better. It's also noticeably more sturdy. The nipple (giggity) for the N75 on the Samco was way too small, you couldn't even get a hose clamp on it to keep the god damn thing from sliding out. I'm gonna throw it out unless one of you guys wants it? Also plumbed my catch can back into the TIP, it was too stinky now that it's getting warm out and I have the windows open more. Took the opportunity to drain it as well. For those of you who are unsure what a catch can does or why you need one, this was after 2 months...



Don't want all that yick goin back into your turbo now DO YA!?!?

EDIT: Also thought it was worth mentioning that I picked up the APR TIP from ECS tuning, and even though it says in the description that it doesn't come with the clamps, mine did. Just FYI.

Nice, I had an APR TIP in my old Audi A4. Great piece and well made for sure.

It's almost illegal to drive anything but a prius in California, yet it's legal to have tinted windows?

Looks nice. I have 30% all around on mine and love it! Not a fan of the giant bar code though...
