Pics of my 02 Q45 Exhaust Upgrade

[QFortyFive]

Well Its finally done, and I am totally stoked about the outcome. I was able to capture a nice low tone purr that I was after without it totally getting outrageous. When it was all said and done my bill was $605.22. So for a recap of my mod this is what they did. They started off at the Y pipe after the first to cats and then cut out the resignature. they then went straight back with a 2 1/2 pipe to the Y pipe before the to middle mufflers, then replaced those with high flow Mag packs from Magnaflow. Then from the two Mag packs to another Y pipe into a Magnaflow stainless steel exhaust. It's a pretty sweet setup and it sounds awesome, I'm very pleased. Well here is a link to some pics of my mods, check it out and let me know what you think.

Crap!! you beat me too it .... Well I will be right behind you with hopefully the same setup but with quad exhausts. Way to go my Q brotha!! Looks awesome. Anxious to know the new dyno numbers. Can you tell if any increased power.. or if any at all?

curious to know what the long term affects of removing the resonator are, anyone? I mean, what is the purpose of it anyhow, to just restrict the sound so you can barely hear the V8 grumble?

Cool! Looks great.

It is probably 20 pounds lighter than the OEM exhaust.

I think I cut out about 60 pounds on my system.

The resonators are there just to make the car quiet.....
