Finally got an appointment with my exhaust shop. They spent a couple hours on my rig. We weren't able to get the 22" CGS muffler to fit with the SPD Stage2 resonator. But I have to say, we added the SPD Stage2 resonator in the correct place, in front of the muffler, and even before it completely breaks in, it has made a great difference. The sound outside the rig is much better (I don't feel embarrassed to drive it now), the sound inside is a little better but it's still a tad noisier in the rear of the car than I want, but still better. For anyone doing the SPD downpipes, I'd either recommend leaving the factory catback in place, or start with the SPD resonator. I'm now running the SPD resonator and the 14" CGS muffler. The shop welded it up much nicer than just the clamps. I've seen the muffler wraps, anyone know if there's something similar for the tailpipes since most of the sound inside is coming from near the tip?
On a side note, this crap with Cat's being stolen is nuts. My exhaust guy has had to dedicate a bay in his garage to cat replacements, he gets 10-12 calls a day for cat replacements here in Denver. What a S&it show! He had over 40 cats in his shop waiting to go into cars.
Also, if there's anyone in Colorado that wants the entire MagnaFlow Catback (it does include the extension piece for a Max). It was used for less than 2 weeks, and truly I bet it will sound pretty good without the SPD downpipes. That seems to be the big issue. I have considered shipping it but the cost of shipping (being that I'm not a high volume business shipper) is pretty high, my test shipments were over $125 but depends on destination. Because of that, I can be very flexible on pricing.
