Drivetrain NM Countryman Exhaust now Avail
#26
I cut out the 2 resonators when I put my exhaust on... Also changed out the DP. Not sure the difference it made because I did the exhaust all in one shot, but I can tell you I don't have any issues and I don't have a CEL with the Down Pipe because I spaced out the bottom 02 sensor to fool it

There are also some other videos on my channel, the DP is what gives it the real throaty deep sound (so I'm told...)

[QUOTE=chrunck;3516860] ... I was thinking I'd want the muffler shop to cut out the resonator, 2nd cat, or both during the install. Pros/cons?QUOTE]
I never considered removing the second cat, I suppose that if you are thinking about that, well this is the time to do it! Any work done on the factory exhaust would require the use of clamps, I know Carlos would not weld on the OEM pipes as it could potentially void your warranty for that system. To date I am happy with the sound, love the pop and burble....

I just ordered the NM exhaust from Way and a Magnaflow resonator (as discussed in this thread) from Amazon to replace the stock cat/resonator. Now I just have to figure out the logistics of getting it installed once it shows up.

is there any drone in this system in city? Yes, there's some drone. It does not bother me, I actually like it! In sport mode you hear it a bit more and makes the pop and burble when downshifting sound really cool. It is a really well made exhaust system and if it proves to be too loud, you can always add a glass pack. Obviously it's personal as to how much drone you want in your day to day. Good luck!

what type of hp numbers should i look for, jcw nm or vip exhaust, im trying to prioritize my list. 5-8 hp gain maybe? im thinking of getting the DP first instead of spending 1k for the exhaust. DP and tune would seem best without spending a lot and i would see the biggest return in performance.
