Sounded like his neighbors started yelling at him. LOL!

If I wanted a loud-*** V6, that's definitely the way to go.

Does deleting the resonator make that much of a difference? I had the HKS hi-power with the resonator on, it was pretty darn quiet even without the silencers lol. Now my resonator is gone, I'm itching to hear what it would sound like mated with a Tanabe MT

Sounds good. Maybe a little too loud for me. What are silencers?

Sounds good. A lot louder than others I have heard. Maybe just the sound quality?

Silencers are tubes that go into your exhaust to eliminate drone in the cabin. I had them in my hi power but took em out since I wanted it to be heard throughout the cabin. After the invidia mid pipe, I lost some of my hearing lol :O

Damn, I don't really like raspy, I like throaty bassy the best. Are there any other exhausts other than the hks hi-power that sounds similar to the HKS? I'm asking because I dont like how the hks looks, i'm looking more for an oval shaped canister like the Tanabe MT.

Only exhaust that's close to the hks is the Megan drift spec, but its also canisters

I've actually heard opposite and was told that the Greddy SE is just as quiet as the Tanabe MT.
