But the incredible E-Ram gives you a whopping 1.5-3 lbs of boost!!! What's not to love about that?

well i did have the exhaust replaced but it should have been the stock replacement... unless the guys put something other than what i asked for on... i got a new one about 2 years ago because it had a hole in it

It had the stock tone, at least it sounded that way to me..but it was too loud. Was anything missing in the system? Maybe the converter?

I'm gonna try to get a video on here in the next couple days.. I'm in love with my Dynomax system..I wanna show it off along with the car...lol. I won't call it showing off though..I'll call it a demonstration of the sound and effectiveness of the Dynomax Super Turbo catback.

Heh...sounds great for original exhaust. Now that I think about it..I bet it is original with nothing wrong...probably the acoustics of the area. The trees and crap...surroundings make a big difference. When I'm going down a big open road, my car sounds normal or slightly ballsy on acceleration. Going down a small side-road with trees and houses, it sounds like a muscle car. I think it's just really good acoustics....cause like I said, it has the exact same TONE as stock exhaust. I still remember when mine sounded like that. Well, almost..the 2.8 and 3.1 exhaust notes are just a little bit different.

I wanna make a video of my car when I get it running again before & after I put the headers on.

My girlfriend has a video camera, but its not digital. Can I still get a video from it onto here?

I got some video, but I'm disappointed! My camera needs a new mic...the car sounds SO quiet on tape. It doesn't pick up any of the deepness to it... It doesnt have a mic hookup either...so I have to borrow one. Argh.

that is definitly true...i have a flowmaster 80 with 2.5 inch tubing on my 3.1, and my car sounds absolutely awesome when i'm in a parking structure or a narrow street with buildings/walls close to the street

Man..buildings and walls are THE BEST. Got this one plaza, with a Winn Dixie and a bunch of buildings. I punch it past there a lot... And that area for some reason too is very very slick..lot of oil or something. I squeal my tires ALLL the time through there...
