yes. it takes a couple of days or so for your exhaust to rebreak in. you'll definitely hear a difference. trust me

the volume of your exhaust may increases a little, but it is moreso a change in the tone. it is deeper and more aggressive sounding after a couple days.

when i first did mine, i didn't notice the difference. after the exhaust broke-in after a couple days, it was awesome!

I am going to see after work how it sounds after I drive it for awhile. I meant stage 1 being pulley kit and tune, or stage 2 being pulley kit, more aggressive tune, intercooler

Okay. I was confused whether or not I needed the intercooler with stage 1, because I was told I can get stage 1 without intercooler and its okay, and then I was told I will get heat soak if I dont get it.

just to eliminate any confusion, you are actually referring to the HEAT EXCHANGER, not the intercooler.

sorry. heat exchanger. I was quoted for tune, pulley kit, and meth kit from a local shop, but they would custom tune. I would rather go with the eurocharged as a lot of people here have used them.

I'm looking to to delete my resonator soon, but I don't want my car to be too loud. Is there a big difference in the volume?

I did it two days ago, and at first I didnt notice a big difference. Yesterday I noticed a big difference. It is not loud at all, just a bit deeper and throatier, and there is no droning at all. I think it is only an improvement

Nope, it isn't too loud at all. It's pretty much a no brainer mod.
Deeper and throatier, but mostly noticeable thru a tunnel.
