Espelier 3" Exhaust sound

Just installed the Espelier catback and was kinda disappointed with the cabin sound... Thought it wouldn't be as loud, by just having a catback only, having the stock downpipe and cat in there.. Well, imma put back my stock exhaust and keep it quiet again.. Just wanted to share...

Why would you do that? Stick the silencer in , it should give you youre stock sound.

Just order a resonatroe from www.roadraceengineering .com and have your local muffler shop weld it for you. it will quiet it down ALOT.
