I say you grow a pair and swap/sell/blow up again yours.
I heard the drone killer is vibrant brand resonators. A long magnaflow (24" or 18") might do the trick too though...
I don't know that you'll kill rasp though, I felt like rasp was reduced drastically with upstream high flow cat and wrapping the exhaust with header wrap.
Labor intensive but might be worth it.

Wheels look really good but there is something about the back that I can't put my finger on, looks too busy. Not sure if it is the diffuser, pipes, or the carbon lip but JMO.
Looking back, maybe just the angle and reflections in post #295

If I may interject my own observation of YOUR observation...
I think it's the reflection of the sign off the back window AND the trunk spoiler...it looks primered and not CF. I know Steven Bell will probably ban me but I don't care how space age and awesome a material is...it's black and it kills the flow of the car if it's on an extremity like the bottom of a bumper or top of window where it kinda blends with the tinted glass.
That's my opinion as a professional aesthetic coordinator...so who knows

Speaking of which, I'll be visiting him next weekend. Hopefully he doesn't wake me up with another slap to the face

I'll just say it's a birthmark. It'll barely be noticeable so people will believe it.

As least you guys are de-railing threads in an interesting way, unlike on a different forum where I'm being publicly scrutinized by one idiot who seems to think when I ask one question about wheel bolts he thinks that means he should start throwing weights of my wheels and unsprung weight around after telling him I was fully aware they aren't light wheels and am fully aware of the effects of unsprung weight on my car. I haven't had to tell anyone to go away yet here, so for once in its life, AZ is proving to be better lol.

Maybe on the Merc cause it's a solid tank so inertia makes up for the extra weight?
But c'mon...on the CL with the Advan, you had to have noticed how much "lighter" the car felt when taking off from a light. I know I do...not like all of a sudden I have torque...but it "feels" different.
Too subjective...
maybe you're not feeling it since yours aren't light
and I'm feeling it cause i spent a ton for it.

My very first car was automatic...had that for 6 months after learning on my mom's 1990 Civic SI. Then, for one month I owned an automatic truck. Other than that, 18 years of manual cars! Hugely important detail to me.

Got some great pics this weekend, of both cars! Gonna work on editing them tonight and I think my friend should have his edited pretty soon as well. Got some great rollers!
Also I'm pretty sure I'm keeping the exhaust as is.
