Got mine deleted about a month ago for $50 at a local shop. Definitely sounds more aggressive than stock.

Thanks man I finished modding the outside and now I am going with big performance upgrades (Besides quad exhaust intake and cat delete which I already did). Thanks for the love though. Slow and Low FTW!

Back to the thread though. Bob's old exhaust was ridiculously loud (F-sport with resonator delete) lol. He is running Nvidia midpipes and I personally love it, no rasp and a pretty deep tone.

Invidia* . I remember how skeptical you were before I got the midpipes installed. "I dont know bro, Its still gonna be raspy..." lol. You need to remind me to finish that video with the Fsport exhaust/intake/invidia midpipes before I get the HKS exhaust. I want to make videos of the 3 different set ups so everyone can use them as a reference to see which one they prefer.

If anyone is on the fence about buying the midpipe, here you have an unbiased opinion from someone who does not own a 2IS!!! lol

Yo dude, no heat lol. Your car looks nice, just no need to mean mug a stranger admiring your ride. I stopped by your work to meet up with Dave and check out Boback's exhaust. If he is selling the f-sport I call dibs because I am local.

Sometimes its hard to tell if someone is admiring or hating lol

But yeah Mike, I definately going to be selling my F-Sport exhaust. I should be getting the HKS Hi-Power sometime in the beggining of June, Im going to double check with the vendor right now to make sure. PM me so we can talk pricing

Not to thread jack, but this is the thread that led me to delete my resonator... It only cost me $40 bucks, it does sound more agressive than stock, but my exhaust guy put it right when he said that it's like smelling dinner when your hungry, in the sense that it needs exhaust along with it. For everyone who doesn't know what the resonator looks like here's a pic.
I'm a size ten, the shoe was for size reference. I don't regret doing it at all, however it really didn't do as much as I thought it would. At least I dropped like 15lbs off curb weight because that thing is unnecessarily big and heavy hahaha. My future plans are to add custom bent pipe from axle back to magnaflow mufflers.
