even if you run the stock cat. The pre-cat and the funky bends right before it look like some serious power robbers.

on the S, it's the muffler looking thing on the passenger side.



The ressonator is what's dropped in the one-ball conversion.

(its the attachment in the first post)

I'm not too crazy about the sound at an idle, but i like it thru the rest of the range.

I think the mufflers more broken in now, as the high pitched resonance seems to be gone....
