What I meant to say was I wasn't sure if I liked the sound of the exhaust - to be followed closely by the LOL - for a little bit of ZTW humour.
Oh well...

No, I'm not super fond of the sound either... Sounds like a Honda lol... I think I'm gonna eventually get them to change out resonators.

No Korby I was joking (or at least trying to LOL) ... I don't mind the sound at all. If you want to make it deeper I'm good with that, but really it's nice and I've liked every MBRP exhaust I've ever installed on any of my Foci.

Lol I know, but my system on my 01 automatic has a way deeper tone... What im actually thinking I might do is just swap out resonator pieces between the two and see what it sounds like

If you go more than 5mm or so for the spacers, you'll need the expensive hub-centric ones that are like 129 per end or something like that. The cheap 5mms are no good to you if you need a big build-out.

Go to the fswerks page.... They have up to 15mm on their site. Also, I'll have to wait to see what they look like with my new rims, they'll be 42mm offset
