picutures are here http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=2132271753
the Comptech Exhaust came in yesterday and i went for install right away in the afternoon
it was as gd as i expected, it has a little rust on the exhaust but doesn't really matter since it's in a very good shape, even the mechanic was surprised how cheap i bought for (300 shipped)
took half an hr to install and it fits perfectly, no leak!!! cost me 25 dollars to install
however the sound isn't as loud as i would expect, still too quiet for my taste, not even close to a BMW 330i
i still have all the resonators and if i remove them i might get the same sound as Kris' ride![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
i will stick with this for now and let's see how the Comptech Icebox would add to the exhaust note. It should be coming in soon
also i have made a video clip with the exhaust sound to share with u guys but but i dunno how to host it up, anybody teach me how? thanks

the mufflers were put on for only 2 months, i got a whole new set of exhaust after the accident in november, so it came off right away.

I might be missing something, but in those pictures, I see no exhaust resonators, or pre-mufflers... in other words your B-pipe seems straight thru, up to the Y pipe.... is that correct?
Because the resonator aaronnn is talking about is the intake resonator.... because per Sam's sig, he already have an Icebox (Cold air intake) this will mean he has no "intake resonator"... I just wanted to clarify

You can register --- [mod edit] --- and then you can host the vidoes sound slips and pics there yourself. They give a certain ammount of storage for free, it's enough for a bunch of pics and for a few videos. Look for the gallery section.. it's really straight foward once you get in to the process....choose to add a file... browse your computer for it... then add file.. They make it pretty user friendly..

remove teh factory resonator and try a different size from like magnaflow or something.! something that will not resonate as much. if you could get one that was HALF teh resonation ans teh large oem 1 it would be PERFECT

there are Exhaust resonators also!
