you can do it yourself if you knew how to. You cut both those parts off, or cut that whole section off as one piece and weld on a pipe.
Yelp some locations to help you out, or check out the regional section.
Where do you live?
IIRC for about $200-$300 you can have a shop make you a custom catback.
Search the threads, I know its been brought up multiple times.

hence why anything over $60 is really over priced.

Yeah his is a full exhaust though I've looked into it, for right now I think I'm just going to remove and put straight pipe in for the resonator and mid muffler

you mentioned something completely different in the other thread....
anyways, there is another member who recently did the 3" exhaust with only 1 resonator and i think it sounds HOTTT !!! I think Inaccurate has rasp only from (if i remember correctly) 2500-3000 or 3000-3500 rpms....but yes he has drone....i doubt Jer knows the difference between the 2....

At a shop now removing resonator and mid muffler . He said between me and him that mid muffler would fail me on inspection if the inspection person knew there was suppose to be a mid muffler on the car and that all mufflers put on a car when it was made are suppose to be left on. Idk if it's just Missouri or stlouis law but it sucks I was planning on a straight pipe eventually

yeah i should have lol that would have been great but if i ever do a custom exhaust id buy the piping and have my dads friend weld it all then bolt it up instead of some bullshit shop. but i just noticed that theres some fluid leaking from driver side of car first time ever had a leak on anything.. it doesnt seem like water and its not engine oil because it wouldnt be leaking from that side.

Anil, I know the difference between drone and rasp...I was able to decipher it using the video clips of your expensive and custom exhaust that I've held my tongue and opinion about. There's a fine line between being intelligent and being an azzhole and you're starting to walk on both sides. Relax.
BOT, that video is absolutely awesome, winning a race is fine...but winning a race against someone that thinks they are going to wipe the floor with you is friggin priceless.
and that guy working at the muffler shop...wow...ever hear that the customer is always right?!?

you said something else on a different thread (on inaccurates thread your and on this thread you are basically )
about my exhaust....yes i expected it to sound exotic, i did.....and recently it has been....the videos just dont do justice....but again am not complaining about being the first on Azine who has done it or the power increase it has given me.....better than a stage 3 which is all fart and no poop !!!
i have no shame showing the exhaust off....yes it has its share of rasp and share of exotic tone, but it walks Audi S5's and hangs with R8's.....
let me know if you find a local 03 CLS 6sp....will go check it out for ya....if you are closer to KC, we guys meet every 2 weeks and just grab some food and beers....PM me your number and will text ya next time we all get together....

Your Scaring me... Itd been sitting for 20 minutes off but it was still warm, fuck could it really be a missfire? I don't notice a huge performance decrease and VTEC still kicks in. It doesn't sound any different than normal at idle
