Hey looks nice! biggrin.gif I just got my Aero Turbine 2540i muffler and AR25 resonator a few days ago and my 2.5" stainless pipe just got delivered today. Man I cannot wait to get this put together - unfortunately my cashflow has been dwindled down by repairs to my other 3 vehicles so it will probably be a few weeks before I can get it installed. I'll take some pics in and try to have posted in a couple days of the stuff - looks beautiful. One question though - how critical is it to have the stainless pipe mandrel bent? I've called every exhaust shop around within 50 miles of where I live and no one does mandrel bending - I couldn't believe it. Will it affect the performance or sound? Also my original exhaust design was to have all pieces bolted together using flanges (the downpipe, resonator pipe, and muffler pipe all separate pieces with flanges) so at anytime I could unbolt a section and replace it without having to cut and weld. Is this a good design or would I be better off just having it all welded together as a "one piece" system from the downpipe back? Thanks for the input and again those are some nice pics - I always did like Magnaflow. smile.gif

I am going to have my exhaust done in a couple weeks at the most. It isnt going to be anything super special, but it will give it a nice tone, and still help power a bit. I have a 4-2-1 header on its way, which will get rid of the first cat, and I have a muffler for it. I am leaving the 2nd cat and resonator as well. I dont want it to be overly loud, but I do want a little bit of a tone.

I will post pictures and a video when I get everything.

Finally got it on. OK ,sounds good, except for that damn exhaust leak bu the flex pipe is allowing the gasses to escape before it can hit the muffler. Im sure once I get that fixed It'll sound real good. Right now though it has that real deep tone, I like it.

Well finally got some pictures of my new exhaust - haven't had it installed yet though - hopefully within the next month. I'm still having problems finding a shop that does mandrel bending. I have a couple of links below to clips of how my exhaust sounds now (ebay header with factory exhaust piping,resonator, and muffler). It actually sounds better than in the clips (the clips were taken with my GE 7.0MP digital camera).

Yeah, its nice. Its still hard to judge how nice cause I have yet to get my exhaust leak (rusted flange on the flex pipe) and most of it is shooting out before it hits the cat back. Although currently it has a smooth deep tone, just not as loud as some people like it. I had one guy in his civic tell me that he didnt like it cause it wasnt loud, then he drove off in his weedwacker.

i just recently got my custom exhaust done. 2.25" piping WITH NO CAT. yeah i said it, no cat. And a MagnaFlow race series muffler. and it sounds wonderful. it has a very nice deep tone and a slight ricey crackle. sounds different from any other cars around here so i'm very happy with it. i'm waiting on my header right now, should be in this week hopefully.

oh so you have original header right. ya no wonder why it sounds good. Once you install the new header that you bought it will sound ricey gauranteed. You better get a high flow cat and then maybe a resonator depending on how your exhaust sounds.

Honestly, I cant remember the P/N, but the resonators are pretty much for the piping size ( 2.5, 2..25, etc...)
