go & talk to a Lukey Muffler dealer, they've always had some good systems designed to do just that, although it is very hard to get rid of the drone in a 4 cylinder car

Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very oftenXMX5 Rogues

I added the resinator. The MKI SPM kit didnt come with a resi, since adding the resi it changed the exhaust note.

Yup, trying to make this thread easy for newer users to use.
I'll probably delete superfluous comments etc. once they've sat here for a few weeks.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

i'll try and find a camera with a decent microphone to record it.
best purchase i've ever made for the car.. makes a noticeable sound, doesn't sound over the top like skyline..

kenson make sure you get the mid pipe resonated. otherwise it'll sound like a dying cow.. literally

I've wanted the SMB extended secondarys and would have bough some off this forum if I didn't have to put all my cashola aside for Natmeet.
I can't wait to hear Kenny's car.
