    Yes, you have I was having a little trouble uploading onto our server, so YouTube will have to do for now. The first couple are free-revving while stationary.

    The last two are while driving around our facility at Infineon. They didn't quite make the grade as Mother nature wasn't fully cooperative as there's a lot of "background" noise because of the wet ground. (At least it wasn't raining).

    We'll be doing some more driving clips in nicer weather and I'll try and capture some dyno pulls while the engine is under load. Enjoy!

    yeah if it wasn't for the upcoming Injen ses, i probaly would have gotten the Greddy or works. But the works just being a pipe is a downer. I rather see a muffler. But like you said. It did sound pretty nice for being just a pipe so props to WORKS :)

    yeah, it does sound quite nice. But like you said, its a pipe. Most muffler shops could even make you a simple bolt-on axle back like that too. But there is some trial and error with bending a piece of pipe that long right to the bumper.

    Maybe its just me, but why isn't it really loud without a muffler? I really like the sounds, its one the best I've heard actually. But I don't want everyone to hear me a mile away.

    It's because the federal specs for example have like two cats an two resonators. I took my muffler off and checked that out and doesn't sound loud as I was expecting to.

    ^ I just checked the exhaust specs in the maitnence manual and the PZEV models only have two cats and the fed have one.

    The PZEV models have a cat directly after the header, then the second one right after that.

    The Fed models have a downpipe after the header and then the cat after that.

    Edit ***

    Check the pic... the Fed has 1 cat and 2 res ... and the PZEV has 2 cats and 1 res

    that big blug thing in that back is a cat not a resonator.
    The one in teh back is another cat and on pzev is also has a precat.
    so thats a total of 3cats 0 resonators pzev.
    and 2cat on fed car and 1 resonator.

    ^ Im pretty sure that thats a res in the rear... theres no 02 sensors back there.

    The fed has one 02 sensor before and after the cat. The PZEV has one before the first cat, inbetween the two cats, and one after the second cat.

    The buldging area in the rear is just a large res. I had my car at a speed shop a few days ago to get a quote on a custom axel-back... and the guy even said I had 2 cats and a res on my car, and I got the PZEV.

    Also, I never seen a cat that is welded into the exhaust.. they usually always put flanges at cat points in order to change them when they go bad, but that back bulge is welded.

    I could be weong, but to me it looked like a res when the speedshop guy had it on the lift.
