Need Exhaust advice with my setup...

I traded my 12" resonated FI pipes for a set of non-resonated FI pipes with a forum member. I felt the system needed to be louder...BIG MISTAKE. It was louder

I traded my 12" resonated FI pipes for a set of non-resonated FI pipes with a forum member. I felt the system needed to be louder...BIG MISTAKE. It was louder alright, too loud and the DRONE was just unbearable. My wife wouldn't ride in the car anymore and I wore ear plugs until I got things sorted out. I ended up finding a happy medium by getting a shop to weld on 10" resonators. All is good now I couldn't be more happier with the results. The drone is gone and the wife rides in the car now. But to those of you that prefer it louder; to each it's own.

Hi, Agent K. Hope all is well.

Which shop did you use, if you don't mind me asking? I might want some exhaust work done in the near future.

Thanks.

Hey, what's up T,

Custom Projects did the work. They're located off Brooks Rd close to 3rd Street. They're not necessarily an exhaust/car shop. I've known them for years and they do special projects for me from time to time. The company I worked for does a lot of business with them. They do quality work.
