So I bought an F2 4-1 today. I should get it here next week and I'm afraid. The ZX2 sounded like SHIT after I put on a 4-2-1, and I DO NOT want that on my Focus. So, I'm asking you all how in all of your wisdom you keep your loud exhaust nice and quiet. Right now, the plan is a resonator and my chambered Magnaflow, and if that is to loud, a glass pack right after the header. We'll see.

It's shipped. It'll be on Thursday and I should have the exhaust work done by Thursday evening.

Can't hear it well enough with that annoying DSM idle in the way ...

Decel is way too loud though.
Get a nice resonator on there and it'll clean up decently enough.

I have 3 resonators in it already. I think I might pull and add a chambered muffler.

What? :lol:


3? :?



I have a muffler you can have. If the weathers so-so tomorrow I'll bring it with. Some Flo-Pro thing, still good. 2.25 in and out IIRC (ID, slips over 2.25 exhaust). Knock-off Flowmaster 40 basically.
