o yea remember 1 thing...most vids ppl make r of them gunning it n hitting vtec...n the cold air intake drones out the xhaust...i hope u dont get confused...

o yea...some ppl have resonator setups...some dont(myself)...having 1 or not changes the sound dramatically...

I have the AEM V2, but it's only availible for the TL-p. I don't know what Strodda has, but they aren't that different sounding at all.

my magnaflow custom catback sounds awesome. I love it, but I don't have the equipment to do a video right now. I will soon though.

those evos and RT cat sound a little ricy and high pitched to me. I like the deeper v8 like rumble myself. nice looking exhaust though and good mod list.

My greddys use to be very mellow and i use to love them. A few weeks ago my factory cat starting rattling and the dealership said i need a new cat since the honey comb inside of the old one has gone loose. I got qouted $1500 or so for a cat with labor and no way in hell i was spending that much money on just a cat. So ended up buying one from random tech which was direct bold on and was 49 state legal. While the cat was being installed i had the guy put the headers on as well since my comptechs were collecting dust since the day bought them.

its the full catback. the reason you can see much in the vid is cause i masked off the tips and painted everything else flat black.

Love this exhaust. Many people think its the comptech exhaust, since it looks almost the same. Here is a sound clip of me revving them a bit. Im gonna make a drive by vid soon.

damn guys, you're making it hard for me...tanabe, Apexi or magnaflow??? I like magnaflow cause i use to have it on my 5.0 and it sounded sick!!! But i want to make sure it sounds good on a v6 also. I don't want a loud sound, just a nice deep smooth sound...

I'll make a nice video clip tomorow, and it will change your mind to Magnaflows.

AEM V2+XSP Headers+Magnaflows= Teh Sickness

I am thinking for my tl-s it will be:

Injen CAI+XSP ebay headers+apexi WSII=The coolest!

I had the v2 on my 99, and loved it and i have had my xsp headers lying around for weeks.
