welcome back, what were you banned for?? i was SO confused when I saw the ban. The care is really coming along, I like the black-on-silver motif.
DROP IT...you've had those springs since before ive been on the forum!!! INSTALL THEM! lol man, seriously! take a long weekend if you have to.
oh, btw, my tips look like eisenmann too! know why? because they ARE.
jk man, the exhaust looks great, when I read "magnaflow" i shook my head in dismay, but then I saw it and it looks sharp as hell. Now get a rear bumper to accomodate them!

Okay guys, my dad's angry about the exhaust, he says it's loud and makes me look bad in the community and stuff. He says I won't be able to drive the car until I get it taken off. Do you guys have any good points/arguments for me? So far, I've come up with: I'll put the resonator back on, give it a week to break in, it's only LOUD on cold starts.

The tips are abit too big I think.I prefer the oval smaller tips (AMGissh looking LOL) and I just hate my muffler since it's big .I should've customed one with a smaller muffler since I don't have rear bodykit.

i miss the magna.. had it on for 4 days. but too loud for the wife. it looked good/stock looking and sounded deep.
just funny how i had a 14816 like kev's on my infiniti I35.. that thing sounded deep and not too loud all around. the I35 must had some crazy resonator on. it was perfect until my dad totalled the car.
not much luck with magna.. maybe super sprint next

Magnaflows are a straight-thru performance mufflers and have virtually no "muffling" to them. They are loud as hell, but sound awesome. My suggestion is to find the biggest (longest) resonator you can find and install it before the muffler, or even install 2 resonators if you have to. It will quiet it and make the sound deeper. When I installed a Magnaflow on my Nissan Sentra, it was loud as hell. Then I installed 2 long resonators and it was quieter and much deeper.

Ran outside and took a short clip of start-up and one rev...I know, weak...but I didn't want to make too much noise at work, especially with my dad there already mad about me having it on in the first place. I'll see about getting a better vid later on...

When I earned enough to purchase, insure, register, and repair my first car, he did everything in his power to dissuade me from altering it from its factory condition. My dad seemingly had no clue about life. I disregarded his well founded advice, and dumped a bunch of money in the thing. I had, by far, the quickest car at my school.
Fast-forward a few decades, and I have come to realize that my father is a whole lot smarter than I ever gave him credit for was when I was young. Go figure. I still enjoy working on and improving the performance of my cars. Always will. Dad and I are very close, and both of us have not only earned our mutual respect, but also from others with whom we choose to associate. My son will be driving in a few years. I have instilled in him that because it is my court and my ball, he will play by my rules. When he completes his formal education, he is free do to as he pleases, because it will be on his dime.
Although I and other MBWorld dudes can hear the fine sounds from your new exhaust, if your father insists you lose your aftermarket exhaust, please try to understand his perspective and appreciate all that he has done for you thus far.
