My theory is that 3" is too big and won't help you gain much power. 2.75" would have been ideal but I wanted to try stock 2.5" piping first. So I opted to use the stock exhaust, cut out the resonator weld a pipe in place and use the end piece of a Scorpian exhaust. Call me ghetto if you want, i don't care. Its a bit louder, yet not too obtrusive, than my old Borla/Neuspeed exhaust during idle or cruising but pretty damn quiet on the freeway which is what I want. I'm running piggie pipes as well and @ WOT my car sounds pretty damn mean with a throaty note. My torque is still there and definitely better up top (FATS test confirmed this - shaved off nearly half second, 0.4 to be exact) I like to think that if two cars were racing in a quarter mile, 0.2 seconds faster gives you a bit more than half a car length on the other car (anyone have comments on this assumption?) I'll be doing DYNO testing on this as well this weekend however Dyno numbers might be skewed a bit since i'll be comparing from another dyno day. Sound clip will be up tonight.

oh and I forgot FATS test might be skewed a bit as well since I did make a small change in Lemmi

Mind posting a screen shot of your lemmi settings?

To make math easy. At 100mph (~trap speed), 0.2 seconds = 29.3 feet.

I had a modified stock exhaust on my avant at one point and it sounded a little raspy.

I have a video clip if somebody would care to host it.

everyone has different views of throaty so we'll compare after I get a sound clip up.
