    Aren't resonators and glass packs the something? I vote glass pack to blast pipes. Blast pipes need to be loud! But good, this will be awesome.


    Go here be happy!

                I want to see someone shave off all the weird tabs and dividers on m5x. Then a nice powder coat or paint would really bring it out

                    Get exhaust piping from Summit if your gonna have a friend weld it up. Its like $14 for a 4 foot section of piping. Throw in a Turbo Muffler and a Glasspack (My set up) and it sounds pretty good. For wicked cheap too.

                        Cool video! I need to get mine up. Sux about the cops knocking on your door. When I did my swap, my exhaust note actually got quieter. Good work! :up:

                            Stainless is a bit more money.
