i got mine with 2 fufflers at the begining, bigest waste of money ever.
then i removed all mufflers it was basically a straight through pipe from the cat. that was the stupidist thing ever, i was 17 at the time though, now ive got 1 muffler no resinator, if you dont ant it to drone but still have a nice note then get a hotdog instead of the resonator

No. Unless you have plenty money to spend. |

No. Unless you have plenty money to spend. not necesarily. depends what your doing with the car. mates dad lives right on the beach, back of his ute is constantly in the water when he's putting his boat in, and he's found it's just not worth going mild any more as they don't last. |

maybe a hotdog if its abit drony.should be ok though.or maybe just a reso if its too loud.ill get em to measure it. might post up a video and change the first post to say its on here.also how do i add a pic to the signature bit. cheers

It will be quiet when you first get it back, i know mine was, but after a while it seems to get louder and gruntier.
No holes in the exhaust either. Anyone got an explanation for this? |

Get them to change the muffler to a nice flowing but quiter one.
Or you could just put the resonator on. |
