There's a white one on YouTube that has no muffler and a Magnaflow "glasspack" resonator with a Y-pipe mounted to it. Sounded bloody fantastic in the videos, like an old British sports car. Raspy, but melodious.

Would probably drone like crazy... JMO.


I plan on doing resonator delete only... I've been in several SRT's with this performed and this the best compromise between sound and drone.
After about 20 years of it in the Miata.. (stainless glasspack).. I'm pretty much in the keep it quiet if I have to mode to avoid drone. Even stock ones get a little pricey to chop up and play on.. lol.
