Video of sec. cats and resonators removed w/gutted mufflers

First off, I had the secondary cats and resonators removed a while back but barely heard the tone i was going for. Two weeks ago, I decided to take the mufflers off and gut them. I drove the car back from the shop with no mufflers. OH MY GOD... THE BEAST sounded like it broke out of hell with serious rage. Almost scary at WOT. as fun as it was to rattle the entire town, I finally got the gutted mufflers on and I really like the tone. Its mild during idle and cruising but when you get on it, it just wakes it (and everyone around you) up. No I can enjoy the sound to go with a great performing car like this....check out the video....

Sounds nice congrats. Do you get any drown or a lot of cabin noise when your driving on the highway or at any certian speed?

there is very minimal drone. Some people claim its excessive but honestly, I didn't notice anything other than just what you'd expect from a custom exhaust tone. in my opinion, it was the best option for the $. If its sound you want, I'd suggest going this route.

I'd like to hear it under acceleration to see if it has that boat sound.
