First of all I like to thank Spartacus for his amazing thread on building a custom exhaust. As custom is the path I'm quite interested in!
Secondly I have decided to invest on my entire Exhaust system months sooner than I originally intended. Mostly due to a cancellation of a trip to New Zealand therefore have saved holiday money to spend! I'm excited and invested much of my "study time for exams" to research my ideal system. With the assistance of a close friend of mine I have come up with the following items I would very much like your opinion on:
Tiburon v6 2.7L Auto
Template: Duel Exhaust, NA
Extractors: RPW 2.5"equal length (headers)
Mufflers: FlowMaster Original 40 Series x2 (Now Considering Super 44s)
Cat: MagnaFlow High Flow Cat 2.25"
Piping: Stainless Steel Mandrel Bent 2.25"
Resonator: No Resonator (Now considering a resonator, need suggestions)
Tips: Couple of nicely designed but cheap double tips
What do you guys think about this? I know there are a couple other issues to cover such as over/under axle and discuss with the shop some of the piping design.
What I would like your opinions for in particular is whether a resonator may be recommended for this design? No doubt I want a deep, throaty and raspless sound but prefer to avoid illegal db. I am assuming duel exhausts are generally a bit more tame compared to single. In addition I want a 2.25" exhaust but the headers are 2.5", am I risking power loss or fitment issues by chance?
