put another good flowing magnaflow in place of the straight pipe I had tried and seemed to be much better...

we'll see as it burns in a bit as it is still borderline a lil raucous...

but all good flowing mufflers, now the wife wants the newer model with the 3.0T

when does that come out ?!?
Yeah! this one did sound better... good job

Add the Dynomax resonator I mentioned earlier.

I'm installing it on mine. I have a lite drone on mine during low rpm that i want ti eliminate.

I was going to comment on the vibration, but held myself back.

So you think the other silencers can be replaced by one of the Dynomax resonators (which part) and still not have drone? Consider me interested (from a performance perspective)

For my case, I will place the Dynomax resonator in the Primary section. And I already have Magnaflow mufflers in the mid and secondary sections (see diagram in page 1).

For your case, you have Remus in the secondary. I would put the Dynomax res in the primary section and a straight through muffler in the mid section (Magnaflow or Dynomax ultra flo)

I'll post sound clips once I get my Dynomax installed in the primary section.

at this point maybe pulling the middle magnaflow off and going back tot he primary and secondary silencers... as she does like a new car every couple of years...

still debating...

Hi Techm8n,

Is it possible that we can see your video? Seems to be private now. Would really like to hear how it sounds as I want to do something similar without going the AWE route.

Thanks
