It may not be the best solution, but you can't beat the price!

In the next 2 weeks I am going to have my exhaust shop that I have used for the past 3 years remove my resonator and just straight pipe it, I hopefully will post a vid I hope this will be a cheap way ($50) to keep that amazing sound that stock exhaust has and make it a little louder.

You can do that and it won't affect the car in a negative way?

here's your answer. throw the golf tee in and then go to a muffler shop and have them cut out the resonator to swap in some straight pipe in it's place. that should make the exhaust throatier. that'll probably cost you $50 or $60.

Not at all. As long as the diameter of the pipe stays consistent.

whoops... i've been watching this thread grow and grow and decided to just throw that post in as it's the quickest and easiest way while saving A LOT. Won't hurt anything at all.

Would like to hear some sound clips of the finished outcome.

Taking my car in on Monday at 8 am. They say it will be $70 tops to remove the resonator and put in straight pipes.

1er, it's going to sound good, not loud at all, just a little more of the performance sound your wanting. i bet it'll be perfect for most normal people.

I could not be happier. Came to 75 bucks after everything was said and done. It sounds VERY aggressive off the line and all through the gears....nice to know I saved 720 dollars and had such a great outcome
