Had a B&B Exhaust and Catless downpipes. Decided that the air flow was still restrictive. Cut off the X pipe and made a Custom Stainless Steel Pipe w/ Resonator Single 3.5" Pipe from Downpipes to B&B Exhaust it sounds AMAZING.

Worth every Dollar!

Will try and get a video soon.

I like it alot. Next on my things todo is quad pipes, so I've been trying to hear and read up on it as much as I can. Your's does not sound bad at all but I would prefer not to wake the neighbors or set off alarms. How does your setup sound at idle or between 1500 and 2500 rpm?

Its not that crazy when your going easy. You wouldn't hear it on the high way or just cruising its when you go passed a quarter pedal when you hear it breathing heavy
