Resonance is fine. It just emerged yesterday, but I bolted it nice and tight again and it went away. I'll finalize after I get my custom cat-back and make sure the bolts don't back off again. The expanding and contracting of the parts should be cool real soon. Car is a bit gruffer in nature now. If you wanna hear it, I'll be happy to meet up sometime. I work between Milpitas and San Jose. Speaking of which, there's a meet coming up in my other forum, V6P, and it's also a coop with this forum set up by pimpravi. I'm gonna probably be at that meet if you wanna see it there. However, by then I'll have the catback so sound may be a little different. My custom is the magnaflow mufflers with my own 3.5" custom tips from Pilot Motorsports and also magnaflow Y-pipe. The resonator will wait since I wanna see if cabin noise will be a problem. Custom piping with 2.5 to the ypipe and then 2.25" to the dualies.

I heard that neuspeed bends, I was about to buy it but then someone told me naw. Just something I heard and have no proof of. This bar is very sturdy though and I chose it because the bar is polished. Also the brackets match my CAI .

I got it from MrHeelToe in the Group Buy thread under Off Topic. He sells them for a pretty good deal... and personally i don't like comptech's bar that much. You can post there or PM him.
