The fastest FATS time on record was done on stock exhaust with straight pipes.

That's because you are running two resonators now.

I took off one resonator on an MTM exhaust. Sounds beautiful IMO

Default I did it this past summer as a trial. I think it sounds good.
not civic ish, not too loud, nice light rumble and some small pops on throttle lift. I found a stock exhaust free and used that as a donor. Fun project and an excuse to weld. Not sure of a perfomance gain but the butt dyno says there was. I may do a straight pipe system from a stock exhaust just for the hell of it. Let me know if you want pics.
