As for a nice deep sound, eh... Maybe it was just the one I heard, but it was very Honda-ish, with quite a bit of ricer rasp, although not fartcan bad. __________________ -Kenny | | | 09-27-2007, 05:29 PM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: South Florida Posts: 16 | yeah....

I think I got it figured out. place in NJ called Mufflex (trenton) does custom fabrication (for a reasonable price I hear). I'll take the Stromung POS there, & have them replace the 2.25 inch piping with 2.0 (or even maybe 1.75 stock size - only mandrel bent), while keeping the Stromung back box. hope that'll drown it a bit...

I should have just spent $650 the first time around and gotten a SS system from Bavarian Autosport. but hey, live & learn, right?
