Don't know for a fact, but from the sound clips from the twin loop mufflers should be DEEP! I'm guessing that going from 2.25 x 2 tips to 3" x 2 would be a lot louder. Please let us know what you decide. I have been looking at the Ansa exhaust but I haven't been able to hear how it would sound on one of our cars.

as far as exhausts on RL's, there are a lot of them available on this site and google images. I would youtube them tho if you wanna try and find a sound clip of about what you are looking for. Good luck!

Big no! The RL need to have a bigger( longer) exhaust in order to maintain a pleasant driving condition. I had 18" Magnaflow and I took it off after a month. It's sound good but it is brutally loud. The reason is because our car only have a small resonator and there is no room to add a bigger resonator. I think you should look in to the 28"-30" total length from Magnaflow. This is my plan, if I pass the emission test next month lol
Or maybe you should remove the muffler and just run only the resonator. It is sound good!

Here they are, it has been collecting dust for the past 9 months lol.
Both the muffler and the tips are from Magnalfow. It is funny because the tips cost more than half the muffler itselve.

I believe the tips are 13" long. This pic give you an idea how long is the tip.

It would be great if you provide the link for the muffler lol. And do you think the tip is short? I believe my stock tip is way longer than that. I think you should get at least 9" tip and angle it up like the 5zigen mega fire ball muffler lol.

Hmm. I don't know about that pipe sticking that low. Anyway, how it the sound inside the car? Can you post a video inside at WOT and a cruising speed. And what is the total for this job. I've planned to get the Dynomax super turbo for my car. BTW, any drone?

It has no drone at high way speeds. Its pretty quiet when you get up to these seeds but very throaty 2hen you get on it. I spend right around $281 after buying muffer 2 tips and having it all welded up

Yeah, hurry and get the video up lol. I'm interested in the muffler. Your muffler is a chambered right? So i guess that make it a little quiter compare to my old Magnaflow. What kind of muffler is that? Can you provide a different link to where you got the muffler? Your old link is just a pic of the muffler. Thx.

Wow, that does sound pretty good. It looks like the muffler has dual outlet , but how come your is only a single tip? It would be great if you post some pic under the car too And aslo, can you post some inside car video( @ WOT and cruising speed) lol

Sounds nice, I always liked the dual set up as well, although I might hide mine a little more and not have it stick out so much, I dunno yet though. Ill hop on this train and see how the rest of your mods go
