What do you guys recommend I can do?
Cut the Center resonator and replace with a Y pipe?
Any other cost effective options?
I do eventually want to get a quad exhaust. Should I just wait for that?
Thanks
I thought that would happen because stock Cat isnt high flowing.
I hate the smell from catless so I'll sell it and get catted vrsf (200 cells) should be good enough to eliminate smell without compromising power

To fix this issue, get 1- catted DP or 2- N54 midpipes
Which option is better performance wise? vrsf catted vs n54 stock downpipes iwth cat back?

Didn't look back to see if anyone mentioned this yet or not,

But you can get fragrances that change the smell of exhaust to something pleasant, https://www.summitracing.com/search/...s?autoview=SKU
