DEpointfive0 · 04-14-2012, 05:31 PM

Hey guys,
I had an extra Megan Racing "drift spec" CBE sitting in my room and my buddy with his new Infiniti FX50S said his car is too quiet... So I said lets put this on your car, but let me go JUST install the axle back portion and we'll see if you like it...
Bolted it up, sounds great, it made a car with NO sound gain some throatiness and you can feel how much less restrictive it is...
Today I put the whole system on, it's a TRUE dual exhaust, so no Y-pipe, but then a resonator and muffler, and this thing sounds like a monster truck now... I had NO IDEA it could get this much louder...

The main question is how do I quiet it down again??? I cannot reuse the resonators from the stock CBE because it won't fit anywhere... BUT I CAN cut the Megan ones off and put the stock ones in their place...

What should I do? Weld some 8" straight resonators in?
Amazon: Dynomax Race bullet 24215
Or should I put a Cherry bomb in?
Amazon: Cherry Bomb 87522

And I'm trying to make it about $100 or less to quiet everything down

Thanks in advance!!!
