Hey all,
Just had my exhaust done and it definitely is louder than stock but not at all ricey or obnoxious. Has a deep exhaust note when accelerating and the car feels more peppy. I have to say though that I took the car home and the 'rents thought it was pretty loud but told them there was one less muffler...didn't matter. Went 2.5" all the way with a new high-flow cat and one rear muffler with a nice 4" tip similiar to IPD's exiting from the original stock location. Had the Unitek header Jet-hot coated and the whole system looks really nice (everything except the cat is in stainless steel w/mandrel custom bent piping). HOWEVER, the car is not idling so well at low RPMs and after turning off the car I can smell a rich exhaust odor. Noticed these symptoms before the exhaust was done but figured it was because the whole system was bad. Drives fine at higher speeds. Culprits?? It's always something!!! Sorry for the long-winded message.
