Mufflers removed (sound clip)

I dont think it sounds very tunerish at all, kind has a nice gurgle to it, reminds me of a gen 1 coupe or fx35.
Plus i dont talk business in the car, nor do i plan on it, and the gf is easy going

You can carry on a normal conversation without any issues. I'd even say you could use bluetooth without a problem. Driving to work at 75mph / 3000rpm, there was hardly a purr in the cabin. You really need to give the car some heavy throttle above 3-4k rpm to hear any major noise difference.

Our cut-outs aren't as pronounced... so it wouldn't be terrible. But my style would be more towards keeping the OEM look

Here's my plan:
the exhaust diameter is 2", so I'm thinking a new 2" pipe w/ 'vband' lip like OEM, then bent and flared to 2.25... then 2.25" x 12" Vibrant resonators + stock looking tips:


I can get 2 of those for $90 + shipping
then 2 of these tips:

for $60 + shipping
So like $250 total maybe w/ welding.

This site is wicked. So what do you think you will end up doing? and when do you think you will do it. I like to see how it goes, are you going to Dyno it. what HP you expect with stright pipes, and what diameter are you going with.
Does anyone know the diameter for the standard exhuast, and is the standard exhuast manderel bent.

Haha, i have ADD,
but i got home early and tried this, and i must say im really surprised as to how good it sounds without resonators. It gurgles really nice between 2-4.5k rpm and after that, its not overly load, it actually changes pitch and is relatively quiet.
Before anyone buys an aftermarket exhaust try this, it really is easy, and see if you can save yourself some $. I'll probablly get a shop estimate some time soon for some straight pipes with factory like oval tips.
ps - dont expect any performance gains (definetly no loss thou) and dyno'ing this would likely prove quite unremarkable.
The stock exhaust is a 2" as mentioned above by the original poster.

sounds pretty damn good actually....
if you notice on the factory muffler it has the rubber pieces, those are vibration reducers...not sure if its going to make a difference because those might actually touch something metal under the car....if not though you will notice some vibrations throughout your car.

That's a good point and something that would have to be addressed during fabrication. I would imagine that rubber hangers such as those are fairly common at exhaust shops, and a new vibration reducing rubber hanger setup could be constructed when the axle-back is fabricated.
