Thats sounds great for not having at resonator!

TIBMIN! you should have asked me about the flex tube! you gotta get a flex pipe, i had my exhaust with no flex pipe and it sounded great, but then after about 1-1.5 months a crack had formed from the engine rocking and the nasty road conditions around here corroded it right off at the crack, and it fell off right under the back seat, after that the cat and glasspack was only being supported by the welds on the pipe and one hanger so it broke off at the dump tube. exhaust = 3 pieces. Get a flex tube on there asap before you throw money away. Mine might have happened so soon because im turboed but i wouldnt risk it, and you can get cheap flex pipes from a site for cheap, ill look for the address for you.

haha thanks for lookin out for me alex! wink1.gif fortunately, I did buy a flex pipe since then. It actually sitting in the next room, Im going to have the shop weld it in for me when they make my downpipe for my turbo. I dont think its too much of a big deal now, but after the turbo I figured it would probably be easier on both my manifold and the exhaust piping if I got a flex section.


and supercow- the pipe replaced the stock exhaust almost exactly, so up and over the rear as you put it
