Ok I fixed the links.

Again mods that affect sound:

1st cat-delete (catless downpipe)
Resonator delete
Borla Catback
Alta Cold Air Intake

Also, an Os Giken Clutch (lightened flywheel), since that affects rev speed I'll mention it.

I always use 93 Octane fuel.

Sounds good!
So you kept the 2nd cat intact? Removing both cats would really help with the flow.

Once I get my DP from Mario. I'm going to put back my resonator.

Yeah, maybe I'll remove the second cat. Honestly my mini is loud when I rev and floor it, but otherwise it drives with that low borla growl and the pops (with sport mode). MANY people have mentioned it doesn't sound like a 4cyl, especially not a 1.6L.

After I buy my new wheels I'm going for either a ManicMotorsport or PAW tune. And for that I'll remove the second cat. I'm sure that, and the tune, will give it a different tone.

Manic has my vote.
