I will do only downpipes first then decide if I want to remove the stock resonator. I will post vids after. My hope would be in the next month or two. ARM has a catless downpipe for crazy cheap, but they do not have any bracket for the pipe. That means the exhaust front is hanging on the downpipe which is now hanging on the turbo v-band. I am not sure if I am comfortable with that or not. I am still debating that.

That is exactly why I am keeping those resonators for now.

I took out the resonator and tap welded the flaps to always stay open

So I have a 50i and was planning on doing this exact thing, delete resonator and install straight pipes. Just curious, if you and other don't mind sharing what they paid for to do that? I'm in NY and I'm looking at pricing with some shops. Also, is that stainless steel? Does it make a difference stainless or not?
Thanks |

Thanks for sharing what you paid. That was around what I thought it would be too.
Did you do x or straight? And it could be me or maybe the 2nd video you sent was from further away but the first video you shared of the cold start sounds way different than this last one. Is it me? Just sounds more subdued on the initial start for some reason. |

I've been seriously thinking about doing this since the very first post.
Seriously concerned about DRONE inside the cabin at highway speeds. Rather than going straight pipe or X-pipe.... I was actually thinking about doing an old-school H-pipe instead, and shooting for that "muscle car" sound. Same concerns though..... Drone.
