Resonator delete or custom midpipe?



I just installed an HKS Hi-Power axle back, and while I like the tone it makes, it's a bit quiet for my taste. Since I'm looking for more sound, should I have the resonator cut off and have pipe welded in its place, or should I get a custom 2.5" pipe bent for me instead? Assuming this is being done at a reputable exhaust shop of course

Which did you end up going with? I just got my HKS installed today and while it looks fantastic I’m already thinking about maybe going to a muffler shop and seeing what they can do to make it a little louder! Without affecting its daily driver functionality, of course. Don’t care about mpg

I went to a muffler shop and had them make a custom midpipe for me. They cut off the stock pipe at the flanges and bent up a 2" pipe with a 12" glasspack resonator welded in, I think it sounds pretty good. Here's what it sounds like
I unfortunately don't have the car anymore, hydrolocked it by driving through a deep puddle with my stupid intake

that’s a bummer about your car

I thought it sounded pretty good I was afraid it was going to be really raspy


any chance you still have those tail lights, and want to get rid of them?

I've already sold my GE6 tails, but I do have clears from an RS Hybrid if you're interested. This is how my car looked right before it ended
