New Exhaust Setup...finally

First post here on the forums, but I've had my laser blue MCS since 2011. Today I finally changed up the exhaust and went with some custom craziness. Had a great local shop weld 2.5" straight pipe from the downpipe back to some oem-ish tips. Sound is awesome!! This little thing barks like I wouldn't believe. The drone is apparent on the highway but I'm 20 so I couldn't care less really. I'll try to get a sound clip.

Very nice! I did a straight pipe as well. I did just recently put a Cherry Bomb Glasspack Muffler on it since at about 4500+ RPMs it sounded "rattley". The Glasspack solved that. They're about $30-$40 on amazon if you're interested. It also helps with the drone (doesn't fix) and the volume is still the same and the tone is actually better. It sounds more refined. Just a thought for the future. Try not to set off too many car alarms when you cruise in parking garages

Add a magnaflow muffler to it, then you'll definitely start to love that rumble! I have yet to install mine and I've had it for a month now or so haha.
