I could have saved myself so much trouble and just replaced my resonator with a lesonator! I just looked it up, the lesonator is able to reduce the dB output of an exhaust by over 50dBs by use of "muff diving"; unlike a muffler, who's sole purpose is "muffling."
I'm almost offended by your post!

I'm surprised spool suffered...I saw no ill effects in the performance department on my setup...must be the bends.
EDIT: Looking a log from last week, still making 15psi at 3600RPM in 4th gear.

On a more serious note- I don't see any shielding gas. Did you do that with flux-core wire? If so, it looks amazingly good. (If not, it still looks pretty decent.)

Ok, I don't feel quite so inadequate now. I've only ever owned a flux-only rig, and my welds look like someone took a **** on the workpiece, and then had it plated over.

No and I probably never will since the car isn't street legal. This is going from no muffler whatsoever to the monster y8saflow. I noticed a huge difference in transient boost response, coming out of corners where I normally can just roll in and the boost comes up quickly, there was a fairly significant delay (maybe half a second).
