New 14816 muffler
I know it's nothing special, but it's my first mod on this car. Forgot to clean the muffler before I took these pictures but, oh well.
If anyone else has one of these.. when you got yours installed, did the shop make it a little more loose than your liking?
This thing rattles a bit when it hits a very low tone. I think I'm gonna see if they can tighten it up a bit...

I didn't run any test, it just feels like that to me. So I may be wrong.

$156 for muffler off of ebay. $60 flat rate for muffler install. $70 for the piping.
I went to a custom piping shop that specialized in mufflers. From what I understand I got a pretty good deal on the install.
Total: $276 give or take

So, I've been thinking about the 14815 but the 14816 looks real nice. Can you put up an audio of it so we can hear it? I want it, but I don't want to sound all 
like I've got an N1 or some 
like that. So if you can, please post an audio clip.
And yeah, get your tires matched up, that will screw with your handling.

do it now!
do it now!
Let me clarify... what I mean is:
Would it be cheaper to buy one from a shop and maybe get a discount on an installation, or just to hit ebay and find one.

Oh man.. I just listened to it... it sounds a little ricey in the low rpms. I actually had no idea. I might get that resonator after all.
If you would like the video hit me up with a PM (for security reasons...)

I checked out the vid... Looks awesome... but sounds a bit raspy. I think the reso would do a great deal of good to lower the tone. And your whip is a 2.2, yes?

KlepTo, that sounds great... I bet on the 3.0 it would be a bit more throaty. I like it. That is more the growl I am after, though you can still tell your car is a 2.X.
