yeah and disregard the part about the resonator. i had a blonde moment because you did a whole muff back system haha. so you already got rid of that. that is pretty tame sounding. maybe go sell that muff and go down to a 14 inch magnaflow.

After a short drive I was happier with the sound. At first I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't more rumbly. That's ok, I really wanted performance gain and hopefully mpg gains. The sound was going to be icing on the cake.
Next I will attempt to do something with the intake to free that up a bit. I'm looking at all of your homemade CAIs to see what I want to do.

Mine had a big resonator after the y-pipe and a smaller one by the tailpipe. I dunno which years did but it's possible he still has one on there.

I don't know what a resonator is... but I'll look it up. I didn't know that about the longer vs. shorter mufflers. Oh well, I'll live with this one. I like it.
Thanks for your comments. It seemed to be a bit more rumbly today. Is it possible that they get louder as they "break in"?

It should get a little bit louder as it breaks in...or burns in....
Anyway, louder isn't always better.....
It's got to flow better than stock. Plus, when you add the CAI it should sound even healthier.

If you have a resonator before the muffler it'll look like a little muffler...about 1/4 the size. It'll be after the y-pipe so don't remove the cats

i was at the exhaust shop yesterday enquiring about putting my new y-pipe on and they had a 14 inch magnaflow si/so and i almost jumped to changing it all out but i plan on doing headers so i decided to wait until i do it all. im going to go back to a sngle exhaust and dump it at the rear axle. i hate cleaning my 2 polished tips every day.
