i got it done at Lent Automotive in south florida

cost me 105 with taxes and everything

kept my resonator...not a fan of high pitched whiny exhausts
sounds nice and deep
not raspy at all

its a 2.25 crush bent stainless steel midpipe

anyways...the car pulls a lil harder above 3k now
good mod for the money

next step...JR race headers:D

Is there any sound difference when you keep the stock resonator?

wasn't the stock resonator was the bottle neck of our stock midpipe??

Will the resonator flow enough to fill the 2.25" pipe? I'm getting my midpipe done on Monday and am pondering what to do...

1. Do what PAPITUYO326 did... Clamp/weld the 2.25 midpipe to the stock resonator.

2. Clamp/weld a 2.0" midpipe to the stock resonator.

3. Go with a 2.0" midpipe and remove the resonator.

4. Go with a 2.25" midpipe and remove the resonator.

5. Go with a combo 2.25" tapered down to a 2.0" (Anyone ever tried this?)

...hmmm what to do...

my is stainless steel 2.25 mandrel bent with no resonator for $100 in cash, which means in tax and stuff like that. he ask for $150 but since that i am asian, i got the price down to a $100. say that i am low balling all you want cuz i save myself $50.....:) but a lot of times when i buy use parts from this site, i go low at first but i usually pay a very fair price.

Wow, I didn't know that being asian meant you get a discount! I'll have to get my girlfriend to start buying my parts for me
because she's asian and can save me a lot of money.

are you guys sure about the resonator being that restrictive...most of the people i asked said keeping it on wouldnt hurt performance at all...i asked 3 honda techs and all they guys in the shop i got it done at...even asked some guys on ephatch

w/e i do feel the difference

still its a good mod for the money


and as for the title....ahhhh the joys of immaturity lol
