The longer one 24235 is the one I have and its pretty quiet, I am eventually gonna swap the OEM rear mufflers with magnaflow 11365 mufflers. If you have no future plans of getting a Jpipe id use the 24215 resonator. i believe it has no rasp and its got a deeper tone.

Thanks the emblems didnt turn out that great. But the pictures hide the imperfections

Stage 4?? that has to have hella rasp. def put a resonator on it!

These black smoked tails are really starting to grow on me, idk if its worth $180 to buy these or spend the extra $25 to get the OEM Type S tails.

The only thing that scares me is fitment and leaking issues considering these arent OEM lights and several ppl complain about these issues. Its only like $30 more to get the type s OEM ones but I like these tail lights and it will match my car perfect. I just dont want to have any issues

I have NO issues with mine. Leaks or fitment.

Only minor thing I can complain about...soap gets in between the frame and body so I have to spray water at an angle under the light to get rid of it.

It probably does that on OEM tails too.

Is that your only complaint? it doesnt get in the actual tail light, just behind the whole assembly and the body right?

Correct, the weather seals keep the water out. It's just the small outer edge of the lens, it hangs lower than the black casing and that's the part it sits behind. If I can remember, next time I wash the car, I'll take a pic

Well I took advantage of the wonderful weather we had today and decided to do the intake resonator delete. Front bumper was pretty simple and highly recommended to doing this free mod. It was my first time removing the bumper, I watched one DIY video and had at it! Here are some pics.
Front bumper removed

Factory intake and resonator

Intake resonator deleted and added piece to extend

I put a self tapping screw in top grommet because the tubing was sliding off pretty easily don't know if anyone else had this problem or not

All the pieces I took out

There is a bolt holding it. u have to reach behind radiator in front of engine where u can go in and get underneath it. I believe it was a 10mm bolt. Once I undid that, I just had to wiggle it out by pushing down on the U shape tubing while pulling up on the other end that had the intake resonator on it. it was a PITA and my arms are all scratched to hell but I got it out

Hmm I'll have to look again. I did see the bolt when I was trying to get it off but I couldn't get the socket to fit right on the bolt cuz it was on a slight angle. Hopefully I can get away without having to remove the bumper. How you like the sound?

I dont think you will be able to pull that tubing out unless u take the bumper off. its really a simple thing to do and I had no issues at all pulling the front bumper and it was my first time. just save urself the headache and just pull the bumper off and get that pipe out

it sounds awesome! for a free mod u cant ask for anything better! it def made my exhaust have a deeper tone to it and if u burp the gas u can hear the intake suck in the air! I love it!

Where did that extended piece come from? Did you have to take a saw to the resonator after it was off and cut it from there?

The extended piece came from the factory tubing. its the piece thats connected to to the U shape piece that u pull off inside the engine compartment. In the diagram its the part where the 2 orange arrows come together and go down. All I did was saw off intake resonator and used rubber grommet to put the pieces together.
