Started the car today at it was really cold outside, and to my surprise the cold start up was not even loud at all....I tried to video it, but my camera had the wrong memory card in there and didn't have enough memory to video the startup.....It sounded like before I even changed out to catless Dps...It was so tame that my wife was actually pretty happy with the sound compared to before...WOW....Took the car on the highway today and it sounds perfect....Nice meaty throaty sound with no drone!!! I am in awe with the sound now!! Car runs nice with it being catless and now the sound compliments the power....no more raspy HONDA CIVIC noises coming out occasionally anymore!!!
I will try to get a video tomorrow on the next cold startup... |

My future S/O will have to love LOUD....cause I have a whole lot of it. The Vette has dual 3" straight pipes coming off the GT30Rs....

Sorry I couldn't get you the video this morning....tried but the wrong memory card was in there and not enough memory to take video....I will take it tomorrow for you again, but I am telling you that it wasn't even screaming loud now at all compared to before...Its pretty sick how a resonator can tune the sound of an exhaust....I didn't think it would work until after firing her up after the install, but I still feel that the location that my resonators are installed has alot to do with it to even quiet down the drone to almost nothing...

You should know that I am anal with my car as I know you are with yours, I would not recommend anything unless it passes my approval....Its really night and day....but if you have to wait to hear mine, it might be awhile before I even see you...but speaking to Kevin he said yours rasp as hell and this will eliminate it, but thats just my suggestion because you might like the sound of your exhaust.....Classy modded cars like BMW should never show any signs of RASP IMHO

Does the resonators take time for it to break in? After a long drive home from work today I noticed the exhaust note a little weird for a second or two about 10 minutes into driving the car sounded like it was clogged a little and started to fart a little, and then it cleared out and then it sounded normal again.....Got home and saw some cotton ball material along side the inner tips of the exhaust....Looked into the exhaust pipe and saw like a film of this cotton like (fiberglass) material...Scraped it off and it looks like the stuff that you take out of a dryer filter that removes lint!!! Is this normal break in for installing resonators? The sound of the exhaust is still the same and nothing has changed, its still nice and throaty like yesterday and no rasp...Just wondering what the hell is laundry lint doing in my exhaust tailpipes????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
