I finally ordered the resonators for my AWE non-res exhaust. I've been driving around since last summer with APR downpipes and AWE non-res and it draws waaayyyyy too much attention. I don't think there's a louder setup for this car, other than catless downpipes. I also just want the cabin to be quieter at cruising speeds and to be able to hit the gas without sounding too ridiculous.

I haven't gotten under my car yet, but I think the adapter from the downpipes to exhaust is welded. How many hours of labor do you think it will take to have it cut and refitted? I was hoping a shop would charge me 2 hours, but I don't know if I'll be that lucky. The resonators just bolt onto the exhaust. But the tough part will be getting the exhaust off and re-welding a new adapter.

By the way, big thanks to John at AWE tuning since he called to make sure I really meant to order just the resonators. They could have just shipped them and charged me but they wanted to make sure I actually had their exhaust first.

..install the resonators. I just put on a Labree catback and want to get an idea what difference DPs make.

Any competent exhaust shop should be able to do that, I'm sure it's easier with the MT too. Two hours should be okay, if you're lucky. I have the same issues with my car being loud in the city drawing unwanted attention, but I love it on trips.

I think I can convince a friend or two to ride up to Boston for an Anna's Burrito some Saturday. By the time the part comes in and I get an appointment with ICS tuning, it's probably about a month away before I'll get up to Boston.
