You might have more luck in the Evo X forums...and specifically the threads where someone modified their muffler themselves (achieving the same effect with a simple cutting out of a pipe). From the videos, sounds pretty much stock.

It does add a little more "bass" or rumble to the sound, but it's not really louder. Unless you know it, you can't really tell.

I did the mod myself.

What the VW guys do is chop out the mini-muffler or resonator before the main exhaust. Like on a GTI, when people remove the resonator, they get a bit more drone but it sounds significantly more aggressive; it's definitely noticeable.

I've been debating cutting out the resonator we have but I don't want to be the first one (and regret it) lol!

yea i'm looking to keep the exhaust on the sleeper side,

getting a DP/HFC and boost actuated cutout,

but figured i'd make the mid pipe a bit bigger maybe 2.5" and get a better flowing muffler.. so its still quiet in vac and loud only in boost
