It's been a long wait for the lights to arrive, but it exceeded my expectations, can't wait to install them!

Adams car is WAY louder than yours. I believe they made it.

Re: From China with Love

Adding another magnaflow muffler might be your best option, you would lower the loudness at low revs, but it will come back at higher revs, increase the flow and keep the sound similar to current.

If I have to I'll add a muffler, but space is an issue, also weight too. If i'll be adding a muffler I might just get something like a varex muffler.

Yup, Chris/Adam ran one in the MK2, it made a huge difference in how loud it was.

Sweet, I'll try them out, do you know which one they have? I'm looking at a skunk2 one with a perforated tube for like 100$ and there are also normal ones for $30. Do you know if Adam's Mk2 is louder than mine without it?

Re: From China with Love

I'm planning to attend quite a few driving events in Vancouver this coming year, car is more than ready but currently it can only go to drag nights.. Why? Drags have no noise limits, but road course have an 88db limit, and autocross course has 92db limit. I'm not sure how many of you guys have heard my car in person but I'm pretty sure it's over those limits. My current setup is full 3 inch, cat delete, magna flow resonator and straight through muffler. Is there a muffler that can give let me not lose any flow and power, and the tone of the sound while keeping it under those limits or am I just dreaming?

Ideally I would run a dual muffler with valve controlling which muffler the gasses go to, but I don't feel like chopping my floor pan and tow hook and pay excess of $1000 just so I don't wake up those pretending to be rich and classy old farts at 9:30am 1km away from their property when they actually wake up at xxxxxxx 5am naturally.

And I really like how it sounds right now so preferably I would use a temporary solution just for track days, I've heard of people using steel wools with hose clamp and metal screen at the exhaust tip to tone down the car just for events. Do you guys have any advice about temporary solutions?
