Sorry the video was taken by my phone and i dont know why the video came out sideways but whatever. You can hear my exhaust note. V6 No cats or resnator.
That sounds pretty damn good!... too loud for my taste though. If I could have that sound only when I want my car to make that sound I definitely would haha

Im not sure, you can try deleting your resonator and see how you like that sound.
The glassback just reduces raspy sounds.

Can you post up more pix of your complete exhaust? How did you go around the spare tire well? What kind of tips did you use?

Thanks

A simple resonator delete will increase its sound, but I personally dont like it

This is what I did to my car:
The Cat goes to a resonator, the resonator connects to a WidePipe, that becomes 2 WidePipes, with no Muffler, leading to Quad Tips
This cost me around 350$ (A pretty good deal in my opinion)




If not a full exhaust system then I guess you could go with the res delete

Try to find youtube videos of our cars with different setups and see what you like
