Reason: Pictures
So I've read that a lot of people do a muffler delete on these cars, but you did a delete on the 3rd cat and resonators. How does it sound? Any videos of it free revving and more importantly, under acceleration?

So I agree almost everyone does a muffler delete or put a type of exhaust
but I find it to be very loud..
I just want a tiny umfff
I have videos of revs at idle before and after
I'll put videos up on my youtube and link it here not letting me put videos from the phone
Damn that RCF in the first pics looks dope must be a cool guy lol
Car looks great bro keep it up
can’t wait to see what wheels you get
Good eye it's my buddies I wish the rcf is so dope
But thank you
Actually just put a post up on a set of wherl I'm looking at but not sure if they fit
Theres a link there for everyone with 20s but there just posting pics no fitment sizes

I look forward to seeing/hearing those videos. I too want to add just a little bit of sound to the exhaust, but nothing crazy. This just might be the thing.
Also what MAF issues are you avoiding with a cone filter vs the factory airbox?
Lol no was just in the process
From reading on forums or what not some after market intakes give off cells n idle seeping threw from what I hear so that's y just went with the cone route

Sadly I was disappointed in the difference although there was some but adding the "short ram intake" added the little more umffff
So quest will continue and I refuse to remove the mufflers
However can I make a suggestion? Remove that intake and stick to stock. Not only are you sucking in exclusively hot, stagnant air from the engine bay now, but you also removed the ‘ram air’ aspect if you will, of the stock intake setup.
The stock intake is excellent, especially with an engine that isn’t modified.

Looking forward to more updates!
your 100% right about the hot air i have to see what to do probably gonna fab a heat shield. the filter really made a difference in what i was looking for and i haven't noticed any indifference's.ill post up later the difference in sound it gives

The only benefit of the cone is just noise really.

If intake noise under acceleration is what you're after, then that was a good choice. But performance may be sacrificed. Would be interesting to see the differences, if there are any, on a dyno.
