Custom 3" exhaust N20

First of all hello guys this is my first post and wanted to share this with this comunity. I went to one of local muffler shops and got a custom exhaust job, basically a cat-back, mandrel bend 3" with vibrant stealth 3" muffler plus vibrant 3" resonator. Looking forward to do the Downpipe

Sound clips would be cool. Looks good though. How much space is there between where it goes under the rear control arm to the ground? Are you lowered or stock height?

Honestly, doesn't sound much different than my stock exhaust with the ER DP. Looks good though.

Do you have sound clips of your exhaust?

Basically it was done to remove the fugly can. In person it is louder, not annoying. Inside the cabin you can hear the exhaust little bit louder and popping when reaching a full stop, even in eco pro. In WOT you can really hear the exhaust and purrr like a kitten between shifts LOL. Ill update with the DP in a not that distant future

When I get home to Calgary this weekend, I'll try to remember to get my go pro out and get some clips. Cold starts at about 0 celsius causes the windows of my house to shake a bit. Once it's warm, it's pretty quiet.

I've done the golf tee mod, not sure if it does anything lol

Are these the parts your shop used? 3" all the way from the DP?
Part 1149: STREETPOWER FLAT BLACK Oval Muffler with Dual Tips (3" inlet)
Part 1142: Ultra Quiet Resonator, 3" inlet/oulet

I've considered just cutting the stock can open, removing about 1/3 of the wadding and painting it black.

Thats right Mr Kleen, those are the parts. I went safe and got the resonator because im doing DP in a future. 3" mandrel bent all the way back, exhaust tube just slips over the DP @2.5"+/- and opens up with 3" replicating the factory unit.
