one thing i did notice it did get better gas mileage and slightly better acceleration in city driving, cant tell the difference on highway though.
if there isn't a dual exhaust to show on the back, nobody would guess i put in a new muffler. i will keep you guys posted, to see if it will sound louder after broken in.

this is the comparison with and without resonator with remus muffler. mine sounded exactly the same with the resonator, so i expect it to sound similar without. great comaparison for someone considering a remus.

glad to hear that, now i need to take out the resonator. i dont think there will be any difference when my muffler is broken in. the sound i was after is without the resonator. if i had known this before when i put the muffler on i would take it off at that time and dont have to pay them twice.

Drive the car for 2 or 3 miles on the highway at high RPMs (5K+)....your exhaust will break in nicely. Don't be afraid if there is some smoke billowing out after the drive. Let it cool off and enjoy the new sound.
And defintly remove the resonators. Any muffer shop should be able to do it for no more than ~$50.

Note* just for anyone whos curious, i paid $120 for the install plus $20 for the two gys that worked on it. its pretty reasonable i think.

Not to steal the thread, but I have a brabus exhaust and I was also disappointed with the sound. I looked underneath the car and I saw (I think) 3 cats and 2 resinators. I took out one of each. I was scare I would throw off a few code if I took out more.
My question is if I took everything out, would the car throw a check engine light or anything? I have a V8 if that makes a difference.
thanks
