Isn't the stock exhaust stainless?

Are these shops that are cutting your stock exhaust welding stainless back in?

Good! I hate when shops weld stainless pipe in but don't use stainless wire, then you get rusted beads on otherwise nice looking pipe.

If that's true im not doing it, that's ther best part IMO!
The burbling increased and got louder when I removed my resonators.

They are the axleback that everyone is installing. Just installed mine and the sound is a 100% improvement.

The SVT mufflers/Boss mufflers are a great buy. I was seriously holding out as long as I could to not buy them because of the great price and good sound. I had a little mishap with one of my Corsa mufflers, and I didn't feel like spending another $1000 on mufflers so I almost went to these.

Ended up finding someone else's Corsa's just like mine that I picked up for a great price (still more than the SVTs) and I'm back in business.

For the price, you really can't beat that combo. SVT mufflers and straight pipe instead of resonators.

This is what I am going for, but wanted to see if you knew of any other vids besides the one posted here. BTW, your car is my backround at work.

lol thanks.

I don't know of any other vids except RobDis', but I've heard this setup in person, and it's nice. We can call it a midrange setup. Not quiet, but not loud either, kinda...well, kinda midrange.

I've heard you can get away with off road mid pipes and GT500 Axlebacks/resonators and it be without drone on the highway or cruising.

any truth to this?
