really,

please get me a photo of that resonator.. how new is it?

LOL!


i sold the ap midpipe because it was stupid loud.
one of the loudest out there

this is of course if you don't cheap out and and buy a full exhaust system...

i can't say how it sounds on a stock muffler....didn't think many ppl kept those

it looks like a pre silencer and then the cat, so the resonator won't disrupt the braces
