I found a local custom exhaust shop. They quoted me $250 to remove both resonators and do just straight pipe and $360 to remove both resonators and add custom X-pipe. I had a custom shop around here not willing to do it (they were weird though). If you call around asking about it make sure to explain there are two resonators. To find the shop I just put in google maps "exhaust" and then tried "muffler" and found shops that specialized in exhaust systems. I emailed back and forth with a few to get an idea of my options and their knowledge of what I was asking for. |

Also the video makes it hard to tell difference in sound levels, but removing both resonators, from outside the car in sports plus mode is maybe 20-25% louder than full stock setup.

Bang for your buck resonator removal it’s a great mod option. Full exhaust systems are quite a bit more money. I’m sure they are great (I haven’t heard one in person yet) but based on videos I’m not sure they would be make that much more of a difference to me. But until I hear one in person I’ll reserve judgement.
But yeah this is low hanging fruit IMO |

Captured from door bell so it’s not the best audio but it’s got some boom to it with both resonators removed.

Sounds how it is supposed to sound! Didn't do an X pipe. Went with a straight stainless steel pipe. The exhaust shop talked me out of it
