I have 2 resonanators, no muffler. I'll try to get a sound clip Sunday, it all depends if my Emanage wants to be nice to me. I have yet to hear it under boost, but under normal driving conditions it sounds nice.
Welding is easy, making good welds is hard. I'm going to practice some more. I'd like to weld up something usefull but that wont kill the car if it breaks.

rmcelwee thanks! I thought they were decent, but I don't have much to compare to. I don't see too many hand done welds ever, only machine. I practiced on some extra piping first, I burnt through it like crazy. The guy who owns the welder told me to make zig-zags while going along. I did that and I just found a good pace that didn't burn through. I would love to buy a welder and practice until I am good, it's so much fun.

I am another one with no muffler. I am running a 14" long 3" diameter louvered resonator and a Cat. Most of my buddies are surprised at how quiet it actually is. Its not quiet but not really loud.

I'm trying to get one. I don't have a video camera, but my girlfriend does. I just need to get to her house. I planned to get it tonight, but the Emanage doesn't want to be nice to me and let the car run. I'll get it as soon as I can.

Well it isn't the best, but it was the only video I could make. At idle it sounds exactly like it does in real life. However while its revving in real life it is deeper. I'm pretty sure its just the cameras mic not being able to handle the volume. It's just a Cannon Powershot A540. Anyway, to the good part, my SRT-4 exhaust cut up and stuck under my Miata!
