GP resonator anyone notice

Anyone notice the difference in the exaust?

I looked under the car for 2 things
First to see what I'm getting myself into installing the NM torque arm on this car with the under panels, anyone done it on the GP?

Then I noticed how small the resonator is on this car, more like a coffee can then a WWII torpedo like the JCW's, a few other differences i noticed as well, the JCW coupe was right next to it to compare it to. The car is so low it's tough to see

That must be why the car is a little deeper in tone with all the extra pops.

Anyone take it off the GP yet?

How's it sound?

Yes the GP exhaust seems to be the same as the early JCW Stage one kit exhaust.
I put and Akrapovic exhaust on my GP which got rid of the drone.

That was one of the first things I did was take off the resonator. Pop sounds better now but I need more decibels from the exhaust so I'm going to get a catless DP to see if that gives me what I want. If that doesn't do the trick I'm taking out the second cat.

Hey Way,
Was it more difficult putting the NM torque arm on the GP?
