As some of you know my RT high flow cat cracked and while I was having it re-welded by a welder friend, I had my temporary ORP in its place. It was stinky and ear-piercing loud with my SVT header and 2.5" exhaust. It was also rough and raspy and almost embarassing to drive with anything more than 1/4 throttle application. It also felt slower? I put the fixed cat back in and the stink went away but it was still raspy although not as loud (but still annoying.)
I know that FSwerks has a stealth version of their exhaust and from looking at their pictures it looked like they added this piece to the straight pipe section:
So I ordered this resonator and had Zoro Muffler in Mississauga weld this into my straight pipe. While they were installing it they notice that the flex section of my flex pipe was also cracked. (I was wondering why their was a whooshing sound at full throttle) Instead of sourcing this non-standard flex pipe they cut out the flex section and welding a new flex section in and voila! ... no more WAAAAAAAH at full throttle but a nice stealth mellow tone and now very smooth reving all the way to the JRSC sweet spot! It also feels like I have more torque as well.
