Car still quiet after cat/resonator delete.

Found the culprit to my issue. This may also be useful info to others. I had originally told the exhaust shop to install an h-pipe when I was deleting my cats. I had left the vehicle with them as they were done for the day and picked up the next day in the morning without inspecting the work. I was immediately disappointed at the results but knew the work was done cause I had the cats and resonators in my trunk. So after couple weeks I go in to see about adding exhaust cutouts and upon inspecting underneath the vehicle for a good location for a cutout I noticed they used an x-pipe instead if an h-pipe that I had specifically asked them to do. So I had them remove the x-pipe and add the H-pipe. Now the vehicle sounds closer to what I have heard on YouTube with more pops and rumble. Might return the cutouts since the sound is now more satisfactory.

Haha I remember seeing that one. I'll add to this, the first shop I went to, instead of removing my secondary cats and replace them with straight pipes..they removed my primaries ....then they tried to charge me $900 for their screw up lol. I walked out of there the next day with a $0 bill, everything put back and an apology from the owner.
