My car still sounds terrible with the windows up. I think all the vibration/honing is coming from up front, on account of my JWT motor mounts. I hate the f***ing car sometimes. I am switching back to stock mounts asap.


Even with hard mounts it still hits the sides of the exhaust pathway, and then scrapes on the speed bumps here in town .

My car doesn't sound terrible, but I hate how everything vibrates with the solid rear mount . I agree about hating the car, makes me wish I boosted a P11 haha.

I have the large 6 inch diameter one and I actually like it. It has a deep sound when I get on it but regularly driving, sounds really close to stock. The only complaint I have is that since I have the cat on, it's a tight fit and the back end of the resonator angles lower than the rest of the exhaust thus causing it to scrape when I have passengers in the back seat unless I go over the bumps supes slow and smooth and even then sometimes it scrapes. All in all, i'm still really happy with it. Btw, no rasp whatsoever! YES!!!!

^Is it possible to get some pics of this? I wasn't sure how much room I would have to run a cat with this RESO. Why is it angled down? Room or Exhaust Shop error?

I can get some pics up. Also, It's a little lower in the back due to me having the cat on as well so it pretty much goes all the way straight back and barely has space for the curve in the piping.

I got a "Twin Loop" muffler off ebay. My SE-R has a Hotshot header a small resonator as a test pipe and custom pipeing to the Twin Loop muffler. I think it sounds great, no raspy noise at all. It sounds like a stock EVO without the turbo noise.

^I'm selling this resonator right now. It's to big to fit with a CAT and I"m going with the Magnalfow #12646. The muffler shop would not install it without a cat and 24" overall is pretty much the most you can fit under a 91-94 USDM B13.

I would recommend Kartboy hangers over Nimso. However Shawn B might have part numbers for them.

If I recall correctly, Kartboy no longer makes the hangers that fit our cars. At least they didn't when I needed to upgrade mine. I ended up going with the Nismo ones:
