Sounds great.

What made you decide to go with resonators?

To knock down some of the rasp and incabin resonance. Did that today and it was successful. Still has 90-95% of the volume

Most brands will give you the same performance. I like the Active Autowerke with GESI cats because it's the only one with the no check engine light guarantee.

Sounds good!!! But resonator are a must because straight pipe will always cause that annoying drone inside the car!!! Personal opinion of course... but from experience I'm getting a headache just thinking about it...

Just curious - Why do people seem to go with the small bullet resonators ?

Is it a fitment issue ? Is there room for larger resonators ?

Would be curious how a much larger / longer set of resonators would sound, and how it would smooth out the tone

Any consensus on whether this affects hp/torque?

Muffler delete does not affect power.

Yes, absolutely loved the car, but the G80 was more practical (two kids). The new owner bought it modified.
