GOt my Exhaust Fixed

Went to Rainbow Muffler, Paid $90 to get two mufflers instlalled and the car sounds so much better and is so much quieter. IT has the same dB maybe but its got the correct tone and everything.

yeah uhh that the bad thing about side exit, when you run over a plastic bag and you dont see it exit the rear view, then it melted to your tail pipe.

And d00d, the car does sound good now, with both of those, "resonators" it sounds so cool its not even funny.

Looks like Glasspacks to me. They are in essence just "resonators" so it'd make sense.

I'd like to see a pic. of the y-pipe if you have one.

Thats basically the system I made, but instead of resonators, I used a turbo-style muffler. He is right, they really do sound good, and arent that loud.
