Howdy all. Yessir, the Toyota muffler did the trick. I'm getting the lower tones without the resonance of the aftermarket mufflers I've tried. I'm VERY pleased with it.
I couldn't find the blush smiley. Yeah I need to get the lazy **** out from under the car and get a video.

I do still have the same concerns noted earlier in this thread about the real-time frequency response of this system versus the frequency response of the recording device and media versus the resulting, converted frequency response of the video. Then there's the capabilities of each end-viewer's speakers to consider. (As an example, you know you sound NOTHING like yourself on the other end of a phone call. The phone neither captures nor transmits the full frequency of your voice, making your voice sound thinner and higher than it is in person.)

But I'll get the nicest video camera from my NTL bros, and record what I can. I'm waiting on the custom 3rd brake light I bought from my bud 3rdElement to arrive, so I can install it and put the car back together (back seat and rear deck). Then I'll make a serious effort to do some kinda video.

Anyway, I can heartily recommend the custom, free-flowing exhaust back to the OEM muffler as a setup. It sounds aggressive enough without being an embarassment when I pull up to the valet at the grown-up-parties.

Yeah... I think I know what you mean Slo, my car actually sounds more of a Heavy V8 when unsilenced, I just had to be curious on how the car would sound like without the rear silencer, you can literally hear the car before you even see it, (thats how loud it is) I have plans to eventually take my car back to the shop to get the OEM Muffler re-installed.

but since money is tight now adays... that'll just have to wait
