    Mines currently a 4" down pipe into 3" resonators (x2) with a 2.5" muffler. I had a 3" cannon style muffler and it was just too loud for the highway driving I do. The 2.5" muffler with baffles has helped, but I've since ruined it by running Federal RSRR tyres

    Mine is still louder than generally acceptable at highway speeds. I can now only put that down to the 4" down pipe.

    Sounds pretty f'ing good though

    are the two resonators there for damping different frequencies or just for the maximum capacity?

    don't happen to have a picture of the system do you? I'm sure it's just piping into piping, but I'd just like to see what a big exhaust looks like under the floor - routing/clearance/hangers etc.

    Found a Remus universal race muffler that could be worth a look. $370 so actually cheaper than an X Force. Bet the neighbours love you Sean

    How does it go with stage 2? At this stage I'll be going Magnaflow cat & muffler with a 4" titanium tip.
    Mate, the first time I drove it I was impressed. I had a MY06 WRX with 209 KWATW, (detuned) and the Polo was pretty impressive but still runs out of puff in the upper RPM.
    Jimmy Mac drove it and said he was surprised how much grunt it had.

    Simon is right Backpressure is the enemy!

    Cheers Al
