Ok so I read this thread and he found a nice way to make the stock exhaust a little louder for pretty affordable. https://g35driver.com/forums/intake-...r-removed.html He took off the middle resonator and put staight piping there. So I went to midas asked them to do this. I printed out that thread showed them they said no problem. I come back its done there like 150 bucks So i was already mad like wtf this guy got it done for 50 im being charged 150. Ok whatever I pay. So now first off big difference doesnt sound as loud same deep tone just not noticeable on idle.

Second when i take off or press gas fairly hard it makes a metal on metal sound like something is rattling down there but everything is tight. Another thing is the piece they took out is a quarter of the size of the piece that guy took out of his car. So I am wondering what they did and where do i go from here.

Pics of what came out

 

um, so you paid $150 for them to remove the reso and install a pipe? is the pipe even mandrel bent?? doubt it since it's midas.

dood, i paid less than that for a true, mandrel bent pipe AND magnaflow resonator, installed.

the rattle sounds like it might be rasp?

you should have gotten a quote BEFORE having them touch your car. you got ripped off.

 

yeah.. damn, i paid 40$ for a coupe midpipe, and installed it myself.. it sounds beautiful.. might want to try and go that route.

 

i got my resinator chopped off my coupe midpipe that metal to metal sound your probably hearing is raspy mine is raspy to be honest sounds like a fartcan exhaust now but ima go with a custom exhaust set up soon so its whatever. Hope you find out whats wrong with yours did you even look under your car to see how it was done?

 

The 03 and 04 are the one that has the 30lbs resonator and 05 and newer have a smaller one, about 1/2 or less in size. I say go get a coupe mid pipe. I think resonator removed on 03 and 04 sounds like a civic with a coffee can muffler, from my experience. Way too loud. Not too sure about 05 and newer though. Good luck.

 

 

heh - the other guy had an 03-04, and you have an 05+. you really should have researched rather than just printing a thread and walking into midas.

 

I have a coupe mid pipe if you are interested.

 

Should i get money back or what? What should i do just forget 150 dollars and do what? put resonator back on.

 

Get a coupe mid.

 

Midas won't refund you, its not like they did a repair and did it wrong. go to another muffler shop and ask them to put it back on. It should cost you no more than $50.

 

Midas made you their b!tch.

 

Hell ya apparently they did

 

i always called my friend you are the most dumb *** person in the world.. but i guess he's not.

 

Really so does that mean your the most dumb *** person in the world then
