How about if one were to just delete the resonators and leave everything else stock? Is it best to delete the resonators as well as the cats? Also, what is your guys' opinion on what Mardeth did with the valve? It looks like there was major re-routing of the inner exhaust pipes - arent they supposed to go through the muffler as well?

I had the resonators done first and drove around for about 2 months. There was a small change but not enough for me so I went with the next step, which was the cats.

I'll second that.. I removed my resonators and right now I am stock other than that (for exhaust).. a bit of difference in the growl when you take off but other than that it is hardly noticeable (at least from inside the cabin).

You need headers and/or cat removal and/or exhaust swap to make a big difference.

I installed the Eisenmann exhaust system on my car it sounds amazing. I get a lot of stares and a lot of compliments. If you rev it up a bit on idle or let go of the gas on low gears you'll hear an amazing popping noise. I would recommend it as a system the only down fall is the price. Good luck
