thanks kameno, is the magnaflow just a cat-back system or change the muffler?

cutting out cats, probably cant do it

how about just take out resonator?

just a muffler though you may need more modifications if you decide to go with quads and stuff

you're in hk so i'm not sure about emissions laws there (check up on it)

i only have the resonator taken out and a magnaflow and it sounds so damn sexy, especially w/ the car warmed up properly. i get compliments from valets and stuff and i'm only running a single exhaust lol

just taking the resonator out won't give you much though

thanks!
Here is what I did when my car was naturally aspirated;

Since then and since the supercharger I upgraded to Kleemann headers, removed the OEM primary cats and tossed in a set of 100 cells. I was extremely happy with both the sound and performance of the system linked above.
