Default Mid-pipe muffler delete!

Just had his done today and I must say it was worth every penny...

I'll post up a video today once I get off. Sorry about jumping the gun. The car isn't that much louder but it more aggressive to the point you think I got some under the hood

It sounds really good I was smiling the whole way home...

Its not raspy or droning when cruising, well I'm lieing it was a little raspy on start up but once warm it was a dream.

If any one is really looking for a tad louder exhaust keep your stock and cut out the muffler on the mid pipe.

You won't regret it I can garaunte it!

You can keep the muffler incase you wanna revert...

<------typed all of the above on the toilet!

I'm pretty sure it will sound different on a DE compared to your nismo.

I wouldn't mind some photos showing the re-weld job, but definitely some video clips!

not bad,

I eliminated mine with a custom single exhaust......

did Berk HFC's, aftermarket Y pipe (3 inch) then went 3 inch pipe the full way out to a single.

sounds the same, just louder..

of course it looks cheap

they offered to paint it I said no thank you!

I do it myself labor is a *****!

either way I just came back from waikiki dropping off the lady I don't daily this car so when I do drive it I beat her up!

but on the way back man I can't stop smiling! It sounds very very good man I wish I could have you guys physically ride along...

OH yea if you guys don't know what race/track cars sound like maybe you ***** need to get a corolla! Seriously droning and rasp are annoyying. An exhuast should come alive when you hit the gas....

many exhuast out there are loud 24/7 this my friend is only when I put my foot to the gas in the second video at the end you could barely tell I was right next to the camera...

girlfriend didn't know the difference (of course) yet once I was cruising at 65 and hit the gas to WOT she said it sounds way louder....other than that is stock sounding!

either way it's a mid-pipe!

I didn't cut open the catback like the other nismo guy even though he had his reasons....


again after warmup this sounds great!

good

nice

sweet

goddly

exotic

hypecar like

wait no!
