A Prius because I'm green
Another exhaust clip and question

So she has VRP HEMs, mid section and x-pipe, 200 cell race cats, resonator and stock mufflers. Basically Bassn_07 old setup! I'm debating should I straight pipe it, delete resonator and race cats? Does anyone have VRP HEMs anymore? I'm thinking she is a bit too quiet but then again I'm not having to listen to hear fly by.

Oh and how do the wheels look, can anyone recognize them?

I apologize for the video I can't rotate it right now.

Sounding good Mike!

If you straight pipe your car it will get considerably louder, ask me how I know. You'll also lose some low end torque until tuned for it.

One of these days I'll need to get a drive by of my car to see how it sounds. To me it sounds stock.

Sounds menace Mike.....

Careful taking out the resonator because it may also increase the in-cabin drone to a non-comfortable level for long distance driving. The good thing is that it is actually an easily reversible mod.
