mine sounds very similar to that, but its hard to get an accurate listen from the drivers seat, and my wife has no interest in revving the gas for me

trust me bro... this mod is a no brainer.
You probably will pick up a few hp and tq too since you have all the mods. Acoording to Evosport, the greenfilters and no resonator/heat intake shields should pick up 8 hp/tq to the wheels.. that close to 10hp at the fly.

hmmmmmm, why not, i think i'll go take my car to Miami Muffler and have them remove my resonator after i get my brakes.... the same time my cousin gets his Eisenmann exhuast installed on his RENNTech chip/pulley/ header(supersprint) C32!!! Will post vids, pics, and sound clips of both cars when we do this!! i dont think theres a C32 with both headers and exhaust done yet... i cant wait to hear how it sounds!!!

I just got my resonator removed (Meineke-$65.00) and I can honestly say there is a noticeable difference in sound. As for power...I can't really tell but with my Sl55 y-pipe plus green filters and heat spacers on the way there will certainly be a post to follow.
FWIW With the windows down it's sounds awesome
Thankfully it's cooling down in Vegas

Pricing should be available by the weekend.

Vadim, I have deleted the resonator and have Kleeman Pulleys & ECU upgrades, and I previously asked you re: HP & TQ gains with evosport headers added. Would the heat shields be included with the headers, and how many hours to do the job? Also, you never told me what the torque gain would be.
Tell us what's in the EvoIII to make 420rwhp.

C32, Durango R/T, 3200GT
How is the sound with this mod, not loudness wise, but mid range 2500-3500rpm highway driving? Is there a lot of constant noise then?
I had my exhaust changed on my previous RS4, it made a lot of noise at full throtle over 3800rpm, but you coudnt even hear it driving it easy(2500-3000rpm). (Ultimate in my opinion).
I couldnt stand the car if it builds resonace at mid range driving....
Should I avoid this mod?

EVOIII is going a combination of parts in addition to EVOI and EVOII. You can find more description on those at our website www.evosport.com and also if you do a search under "R&D" on this forum.
My C32 has headers and no secondary cats. Car is not loud and at cruising speeds not intrusive. EVOIII will come with secondary cats bypass pipes, but muffler will remain stock. Most of the power gains will come from new intercooler design and further sofware retune.
