LEX51S Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Cant see too much from those pics but looks ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domdom Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Man how you pay for the tips installed? A reputable exhaust place would ensure you have the right size and if not cut and fit it the perfect way first time! I had put 3.5" on mine with quality ends, quite thick and its a perfect fit.

ilv1004s Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 you might wanna leave it on if your planing to put the GFX rear or sum other rear kit on my muffler tips sticked out alot rear the standard rear but once i put the gfx rear it looked perfect so if you shorten it and then go for a kit later on it might look too short lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrrrry Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I think it looks good! Definitely wait until you put a rear lip on before you start cutting...then you can get it perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2sty1 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 thanks guys i decided (after starring at it for a long time) that i would just leave it until i can save up for either the GFX (only front and back tho) or a INGS+ kit, maybe even Vertex im being a cheapo and holding out on a actual exhaust till i can get my car lowered + a kit i'll post back when my resonator is deleted again, thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domdom Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I had my resonator deleted as well, its worth it -just make sure they do a proper job.. Don't get midas to do it, they will charge an arm - very bad stories i heard about them. Just find a local exhaust place. Anyway with no resonator you get a little reonance and a touch more raspy sound. But letting you know now its not super noticable, in an underground carpark rev the hell out of it then its obvious!!

BoostSamurai Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Looks good from the rear but you're right, side on, they stick out too much. How do they sound though? That's what I want to know... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2sty1 Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 well, i havent done the resonator delete (decided not to) and im just saving for a midpipe but with the tips, they dont really change the sound, my friend recons when i redline it, it sounds more growly from the back, but most my sound is from my intake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostSamurai Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Oh ok. Did you sort out the length though, so they don't stick out side on as much? I was hoping for a vid though as I'm not too familiar with the 250 and it's aural cacophony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2sty1 Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 nar, im leaving them that length and waiting for a lip kit IS-F lights first and debadge (maybe resonator delete aswell, still contemplating) i'll make a video tonight, some pass bys and in car as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostSamurai Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Haha, cool ,I'll look forward to seeing the vid ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2sty1 Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 sorry man, forgot the take my camera out i'll try to get some up asap but the thing is with videos, it doesnt really do the car justice u have to hear it for real, lol still comtemplating the resonator delete, the cat converter is seperate to the resonator right??

BoostSamurai Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 The 'resonator' would either be the muffler or a hotdog in the exhaust which is used to alter the frequencies/tones of the exhaust to generally quieten it down, where as the cat converter serves a different purpose. So I guess, YES, the cat and the resonator would be two different things. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
