    Little taste for you, I am going to drive out to Salt lake International airport at 5:30PM today so I can get some city driving and some freeway driving sound. Might even get to capture some spittin and backfires! LOL

    I like it but my concern would be the cabin noise during my commute and of course my neighbors. I would love to hear more though.

    This one is a bit long, 22 minutes. Lots of stop and go, freeway, through town and cruising.

    @4:50 you can hear a backfire LOLZ

    @15:07 you can hear the mivec change on deceleration, my air box is modified slightly to create a warm-ER air intake. Might buy another box to keep stock.

    Did you lose any torque with this mod?

    I feel a small loss in the very top end, but that could be a combo of the airbox and the exhaust.

    In all honesty I am going to MI in Feb. to visit my brother from another mother. Thats why I am doing this now.

    Gotta decide if I can stand 22 hours of driving with the noise. I am also planning suspension and wheels and tires in the next week.

    So I went ahead and ordered a 17 inch chttp://www.flopro.com/baffle. If I've done my homework correctly this should not change the power curve much, but will give the exhaust a nice tone. $40.00 out the the door with no shipping I'm not risking much dollar wise just the instalation. When I get it done I'll report back for those that are interested. I wanted to go muffler delete with straight pipe back to the resonator, but I think it would just be a little too loud for me.

    Did you get a good look at the stock muffler when it was cut off? A lot of people on here, myself included, want to know if the muffler is a straight through one or not.


    I don't know why but my car has a louder exhaust note than any other Mirage I have seen, but it is all stock.
