WTT/WTS custom Sti cat back

So I got bored and cut open my Sti cat back, In the middle of it there is a certain pipe thats the most restrictive, and muffling piece, SO I cut this out, cut out a few other things, (have pictures of all this I can email), then I had a muffler shop make me a 3 inch pipe from downpipe to axle back, we cut off as much as we could of the Sti Axle backs 2.5 piping and made it 3, so its 3 inch piping all the way to the first muffler exhaust hanger (trusting you know where it is). Its not quite as loud as I want to be, I dont want LOUD just a bit more rumble, dont get me wrong when you get on it, this exhaust sounds pretty sweet. Its on my car so you can hear it before any trades. No Watermelon launcher mufflers please =D

So basically you wasted all that time and money when you could have just bought a rumbly catback?

also has a completely stock look to it... which has to be part of the reason behind it. I'm very curious as to what it sounds like.. got any vids?

um no videos, I tried to put som pics up, but maybe Im special cuz i cant get it to work. Its cool I like it, only part I dont like is the fact it has to tapper down to 2.5 briefly before muffler, Idle sounds almost stock, 2.5k rpm + its got a growly rumble, id describe it as a power sound? rather than a loud exhaust sound. Its quiet but it growls, and spits and pops when you down shift, all the characteristics of a loud exhaust, just quieter. If your REALLLY interested email subyscotsman@gmail.com and ill send you the pictures of pre cut open, stock cut open, gutted cut open, and gutted sealed back up.
