I also wonder what it would sound like with out the resonators, since the EVO2 responded well to having it removed.

I had my stock muffler off last weekend during my Fujitsubo install. I had to turn on the car to heat up the bolts underneath the car (to make them easier to remove) and at that point the stock muffler was removed. When I started it up and revved it a few times it actually did sound pretty good. But the Fujitsubo exhaust sounds even better : )

yeah it sounds great and the custom piece goes on today

as far as the resonator, I didn't want to remove it because I liked the sound JUST the way it was with no muffler...removing the resonator might not make it sound better...it might give you some rasp

i don't know if you are concerned with power much, but I would definitely like to hear it if you decide to take it off

I should have pictures of the finished product today provided nothing is effed up when I pick the car up

there are a bunch of ebay exhausts out there, including the TopSpeed type one, which a lot of people use

Some of them you can get for less than $400 shipped

I just put the motor back in my car this weekend and had every last piece of my car at the garage with the exception of the muffler. Lol. I have to admit that when we finally started her up and drove it a bit it did sound good. Not annoying by anymeans. Just doesnt look good.

The finished product:

I'll probably let the heat settle everything for a little first, then go back and adjust things with a torch if necessary. I'm pretty happy with how things went.

Let me know what you guys think

by the way...if I ever dyno the car, I'll let you guys know how it does

Can you take lowwer pictures so we can see how they routed the right side pipe.

Edit: also did they mount any hangers on the added piping?
