OEM exhaust mods

Okay, from a previous thread, i got persuaded into removing the mid muffler and replacing the resonator with the magnaflow resonator. it sounds sexy!

but i was also thinking of doing one more thing...and here's where y'all come in with ur yay or nay's...

i kinda want to extend my exhaust tips so that they stick out a LITTLE bit...maybe a few centimeters...just enough so that you can see the exhaust tip heads barely from the side...i can't imagine that in my head. has anybody done this and post pics if you have? thanks!

I had mine moved out, I will take pics later this afternoon and post them. Unfortunately, he moved the LH side out further than the right. But that will all change with the GHL exhaust.

I was thinking of doing the same thing when I went in to remove the mid muffler and add the magnaflow's because I noticed that before I put the A-spec kit on the exhaust sit nicely with the bumper. After I put the kit on I noticed that it was too far tucked into the lip. Hopefully we can see some pics that might give us a good idea on how it looks!

see i know taking the mid muffler AND resonator will make it sound like crap. but i think it was lebowski that said his car sounded nice and deep with the magnaflow resonator

Mid night TL

Where did you get the magnaflow resonator? How loud is your set up? Is there any raspy sound? Just to recap you took off the mid muffler and put on a magnaflow resontor in place of the factory resonator?

Thanks for your time

actually i JUST ordered the resonator off ebay...so it'll come by tuesday at the latest (hopefully). i'm gonna get the mid muffler removed and the stock resonator swapped with the magnaflow one. i hear it sounds like a quiet g35 roar.
