Had mine done before I went with Invidia. Not worth the money if you ask me. It just sounded raspy.

I second the in my opinion.

But hey if you like it then cool.

Had mine done last week as well. Just as said from those with GOOD weld jobs, NOT RASPY at all. Just like stock, only a little louder. Im happy with it and it'll hold me over until I drop serious money on an exhaust. That is after wheels/suspension

It only sounds raspy on the startup. My car has always sounded a bit raspier on startup, even before this mod.

mine doesn't sound raspy at all.

it sounds deep. i ran into a porsche carerra yesterday and it sounds about 30% quieter than that car but sounds tone is about the same.

very deep and clean yet quiet enough to hear the stock radio over.

my welder was excellent.

Yea it does. I don't know if its due to a bad weld job or the test pipe, but my resonator-delete DOES NOT sound like that. It sounds just like it does stock, just louder. Thats the best I can say.

In case you're talking about my car, it doesn't have a test pipe on it.

you know, everyday i hear my deep grumbling exhaust sound and wish that it was just little more louder then I start searching for an exhaust system.

But this is like when you've had just enough food to eat, but you want more?

That's when you're suppose to stop, so you don't feel like shit for eating too much food.

That's how I see this. It's just enough to a point where I want more, but I know if I get an exhaust system, it'll be too loud and I would miss my stock exhaust, and remember how quiet and nice it was.
