I'm all piped up now. Today installed a 2.5" magnaflow cat-back exhaust. Here are some pics:

Much props to TeKKiE. Without him this would not have been possible. Thanks for hooking me up with an awesome cat-back exhaust homie! The sound is sooooo nice a deep and the exhaust fits like a glove. A sound clip will be posted in the near future.

Thanks man. I'm really pleased with it. Oh yeah, that's my Dad's Volvo. I work on my car in his driveway because my driveway isn't paved.

Cool. Mine has a resonator too. You can see it in most of the pics. It gives the cat-back a nice deep tone.

Thanks guys. Vadim, hit me up on AIM and I'll tell you what I paid for it.;) It has a nice, solid, deep tone. Definitely quieter than what I was expecting. My sister-in-law was supposed to bring her camcorder down from Santa Fe yesterday, but she forgot it. I will have some audio/video clips for you guys this coming weekend.

Sweet! Bet the car feels a lot different now, too! With the SSAC header, I'm sure it pulls REAL nice. :) I'm betting anything, that it would pull more than the MR two piece header that was installed with it on my car.

Vadim - He got a great price :D

It's a really quiet, deep toned exhaust. Sounds REALLY good, no rice at all. When you do WOT with it, it's noticeable, but not to the point to where it's really annoying in cabin, or being heard from two blocks away. :D

Looks great T!

Yeah, its pulling real nice on the top end now. It sounds great. I can play it real low key if I want to or I can open that baby up and let you know I'm there. Its a blast. :biggthump

;) Anything I can do to help a brotha out. It would have been a BITCH to have to ship that damn thing. Worked out perfectly.
