ok, so after a few days and nights and lots of miles I must admit I DID gain some power out of it. Even passengers have noticed. I tried and tried to NOT notice any gains, thus reducing the placebo effect of a mod, but I'll be damned if it doesnt feel faster....
Took a 1.75 hour drive with it too, not drony on the highway at all, I figured it would be aweful, nope..no worse than with the RB attached.

I LOVE the sound it makes when combined with my intake....

Did you add the resonator - does it come stock? Can i cut my muffler off and put a resonator on and pick up performance? If i get a header - am i still better off with the stock exhaust?

im still using the OEM resonator in the stock midpipe...if you get a header i'd think a freer flowing then stock exhaust is a must to really realize the gains that are possible...I really did this to shed weight, and as a perk picked a few ponies...dont add any more resonators to the system or your just redoing what you just cut off....

MOVIE CLIPS FOR SOUND:

gimme a minute to figure out why they aren't working..my gf has to redo the links..they'll be up today.
I got a short clip of idle with 2 throttle blips, and a full on through 3rd gear run as well....fwiw the intake is louder than the exhaust
