FWIW if you want a sound similar to what the 4.2 has, simply cut the exhaust from the cats
and straight piping down for the sound...and tapering out to wider diameter piping for best performance effect if you have turbos.
the cat/muffler/resonator "less" mod = makes your car sound almost as loud as the 4.2, with a tiny bit deeper growl, but not as "wild" in comparison than the Big Boy cousin. I didnt have the chance to get a sound clip of when my exhaust was off, but i will def get one for everyone when i do my downpipes.
btw, for anyone thinking "ill cut the exhaust there and leave it without piping", bad idea. the exhaust fumes will find its way into your cabin, and i will laugh at you for not listening to me =)
and remember: less 2 cylinders, and less even more with exhaust re-cycling
