Project 2.Slow Mazda3

Well I purchased one of these to add to my exhaust today: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.summitracing.com/parts/vpe-1140/overview/">http://www.summitracing.com/parts/vpe-1140/overview/</a><!-- m -->

As the Magnaflow muffler has lost some of its packing and gotten really worn it it is not able to keep the deep tone above 4k when the VVT switches over like it used too. It now sounds like a swarm of bees and I really do not enjoy the exhaust note unless I'm below 3500. So, I'm hoping this resonator will get rid of a bit of drone, not be terribly raspy above 4k like it is now, and give it a little quieter/deeper tone all around.

I shall be putting it on where test pipe is right now hopefully a local Bill's Muffler will do this for me even though I'm catless. I don't know if shops work on catless cars even if they aren't touching anything emissions wise like just adding a resonator. If not I guess it will be sitting awhile until Kaan has time and/or wants to help me out again.

There is a guy in broadway who will work on them if Bill's won't. He swapped the catbacks on my Evo for me when I was catless. I don't think he'll remove cats, but he will work on the rest of the exhaust if needed I think.

Broadway's only a 20-25 minute drive from Harrisonburg.
