I paid $315 for all the parts. My thread was deleted on G6performance because I was supposedly advertising by giving info on the parts I bought.......

I want to HEAR what this sounds like. The stuff looks nice bro. I am sure many people will be stoked to find out there is a direct replacement muffler for the G6. Its a very odd setup with the center body inlet and dual side exit(much like a third/fourth gen firebird/camaro).

I am very interested in hearing this setup man.

Does not sound bad...did you remove the resonator?

Thats doesnt sound too bad. A little bit of rasp, but still not too shabby.

Lampoon what are you talking about?? lol

Looking to do something just like it. Was going for a GT-R design, but Vibrant. Know what I mean.

This is a vibrant 18" resonator thats 4" body diameter, and the vibrant muffler and tips, also had them run 2.5" piping. Don't let it fool you, this exhaust is fairly quiet but thats what I was hoping for.

I am happy with the outcome of my system, it is doing exactly what I want it to do and thats make a lil bit of sound without making my ears hurt, and the fact that it's different from what everyone else is running.

Also there will prolly not be any sort of dyno run as i've never put a single car of mine on the dyno. It's my daily driver and i'm not trying to make a race car out of it. It's more less accessorised for my taste and enjoyment.:beer:

Its the first Vibrant Ive seen on a US car. Those muffler are used & known throughout the Honda community. Look it up. Thats what I was talking about handeater.

Its your car....if your happy thats all that matters.

I dont see anything outside the box though....lol

Lampoon when I say outside the box I meant using parts that no one else used. I used to have a catback that vibrand made on my 01 Cavalier if you looked it up as well? Vibrant used to make parts for a couple different domestics in the past.

Please make sure to post new clips after about 2000 miles. i bet the tone will change over time, you may not notice because it is going to be wearing out the internals of the muffler slowly but i guarantee that if you post another one we will hear the difference

Damn... one sweet sounding exhaust. Glad you used good materials, it will pay off in the long run.

Yeah I took it on a 80 mile round trip today and I could actually hear a difference in it. I am trying to get some extra miles on it just to wear it in.

Here is the setup with around 4000 miles on it now. It's going to be getting changed out for a different setup.
