Default 3.0 GIAC update ( long )

Fellow 3.0 owners, i recently had my car flashed with GIAC chip, and few days ago a muffler shop installed a pair of Magnafow 14829 on my car with straight pipe, no resonators, the result is one fast revving motor with excellent thottle response, the down side is it's really really loud inside the car, at idle or you don't step on the gas, is like stock quiet, but if you step pass 2000 rmp, it roars, i don't know how to describe it except LOUD.

Unless you want it loud, you need resonators.

Default I considered going the Magnaflow route but I would have had some center resonators installed

to help less in the interior cabin noise. Do you have an pics of the set up that you can post. I'd like to see how your mufflers and tips sit in comparison to the exhaust cutouts.

Default T/J - I am putting together a 3.0 database. Can you give me the stats of you car?

Year, color, suspension, sedan or avant, any other performance mods other than the GIAC chip and the exhaust.

A local GIAC dealer in San Jose. I think Power chip gains more power.
