Welcome to the f**king old FTO Australia forums!!

trust me its not that loud in real life. massive improvement over stock but it somwhat sounds like a regular canon on a festiva... mivec growl has quietened down allot aswell. But hopefully when 'G' takes out the second resonator mivec glory comes out.koolio1234 wrote:Thats pretty loud as it is, if you took resonator off it might make it borderline unbearable, sounds great though and it'll only get better once you get that carbon buildup.
I think its coz everytime my exhaust is in front of you, you have your muffling helmet on.. but theres another video coming up, with a slightly spirited one..J wrote:trust me its not that loud in real life. massive improvement over stock but it somwhat sounds like a regular canon on a festiva... mivec growl has quietened down allot aswell.

i was there when this was done and the workshop did a fantastic job, double checked everything, welded extra points to the chasis to stop movement... made a good impression.
Thats a good idea, if you take the resonator out now and you like it, it can all change once the carbon builds up and it changes again, possibly for the worst. Might as well leave it for a month and see how you go.Gholdwayne wrote:I think its coz everytime my exhaust is in front of you, you have your muffling helmet on.. but theres another video coming up, with a slightly spirited one..J wrote:trust me its not that loud in real life. massive improvement over stock but it somwhat sounds like a regular canon on a festiva... mivec growl has quietened down allot aswell.

==>Bushido, J - I might hold off in getting the 2nd resonator off, the more i listen the more i get to like it, plus ill let the carbon build up first before i take out the resonator...
Yeah i might leave it for a while and see if the itch will still be there, but did you go through the same thing koolio ? not with a resonator removal but did it take that long to get the note change ?koolio1234 wrote:Thats a good idea, if you take the resonator out now and you like it, it can all change once the carbon builds up and it changes again, possibly for the worst.

but my car's already been serviced about a week or two before so if i did get another service it wouldnt really be any much different, does anyone have a sound sample of an apexi n1 with 1 resonator ? or any straight through cannon maybe ?bushido wrote:When I first installed mp Apexi, I noticed the note change after I serviced the car
WTF!bushido wrote:just for you mate
as promised

EDIT: and another one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQmcd3t0ImQ
They are both with only one resonator
I can give you sound with straight through with my de-cat pipe in and 1 resonator when its gets back from painterGholdwayne wrote:but my car's already been serviced about a week or two before so if i did get another service it wouldnt really be any much different, does anyone have a sound sample of an apexi n1 with 1 resonator ? or any straight through cannon maybe ?bushido wrote:When I first installed mp Apexi, I noticed the note change after I serviced the car
Now that sounds nice mateGholdwayne wrote:Ok so today i heard the car in person from outside when my mate did a mivec launch for me, and man im not taking off the resonator for a while now, it sounds beast to me , so at this point im happy, plus i can hear engine growl from the back too:

some one wants flames? Some thing like this?bushido wrote:I wouldnt call the little tiny thing in there a resonator though. Although it is there I am fairly certain it makes no difference. So I guess it is no resonator. I may try what it sounds like with the punched cat..heheh flames maybe??
wow i cant believe it coming from you, thanks simon! yeah as soon as i heard it in person from the back i decided to keep the 2nd resonatorI8A4RE wrote:Now that sounds nice mateGholdwayne wrote:Ok so today i heard the car in person from outside when my mate did a mivec launch for me, and man im not taking off the resonator for a while now, it sounds beast to me , so at this point im happy, plus i can hear engine growl from the back too:
