finally got my new exaust :)

Anyone here who has heard my car before knows its extremely loud and annoying right now....
(header strait back to a 4'' strait through magnaflow muffler with no cat or res)
I dono how I ended up like that but i HATED it. it was very raspy and annoying.

Anyways i picked up a apexi world sport2 catback exaust and I cant wait to put it on. I am just hoping the large resagnator is comes with will compensate for the fact that there is no cat.

As for installing it....I installed my headers on my own....but I had ALOT of trouble puting those bolts back on that had springs. I could barely compess them with one hand while trying to put the nut on with my other hand.

Is there any trick to putting those on? Cause last time I felt like dieing.

hey luca..... i feel your pain you could get a little longer bolts so you have some threads to bite on to or take some water pump pliers or someting and grab the bolt end and the flange and squeeze them together for a second to get int on a couple threads OR if you have one a valve sprin compressor Easiest IMO
hope this helps when installing ur WS2 catback good luck and i hope you like it

i just use channel locks. Squeeze the head and the spring together enough to thread the bolt on.

Resonator doesnt do much for making the exhaust system quieter. If anything all ti does is take away that annoying rasp. you were talking about.

So installed the exhaust yesterday and i absolutely love it!!

I still have no cat it just goes header then the exhaust bolted strait to the exhaust so now the full thing is 2.25in.

It sounds awesome and gave me much more low end then my previous raspy strait through.

It also maintaned the same top end the strait through was giving me and still stays pretty queit.
WELL WORTH the money for this exhaust in my opinion
