I almost agree with you 99accord... I am kinda unhappy with mine... like I said, now I wish I had spent the extra cash on an EVO or something nice like that. And the resonator isnt in the muffler on the Magnaflows... its in your piping... I had the option of getting one or not getting one when they made my exhaust piping... with a resonator you have like 1-2 less HP so I told them to leave it off haha. God its so loud. I listen to music very loud and can still hear my exhaust over it. And if you do get one... the race series is a lower and deeper sound than the street series...
