Default Muffler delete with stock resonators

Finally got around to take a video. This is a muffler delete with stock resonators. I had the shop cut right where the axel back bolts up to the midpipe thus ridding of the factory crushed pipe.

Sorry about the wind noise!

I never drive in normal or Eco so I'll try it tomorrow. On sport+, no drone in 6th or 8th gear, but there is drone in 7th.

OK, thanks! I'd still be interested in knowing about the Normal/Eco modes.

Possibly but not any time soon. Still not entirely sure how long I plan to keep the RCF so I don't want to sink too much money into it. At the time I purchased the car, it was going to be my daily, but I have since picked up a FJ Cruiser as a daily. Now as a pleasure car I don't mind giving up some luxury/comfort for performance...so an R35/R36 might be in the near future.

Deep and louder. Sounds good.

Are those the stock tips welded to new axelback piping? Size? Can you post a pic of your setup underneath?

No they are aftermarket tips, slightly larger than factory tips and imo fills in the back better. I have 2.5" mandrel bent from resonator back.

I'm on a 750 mile road trip right now, in Eco mode and cruise control:
70mph - no drone and quiet like stock unless going uphill
75mph - no drone, slight rumble
80mph - definite drone. 92-94 decibel. Cruised for an hour and got a headache and ears muffled.
