So this is a looong time comin' shoulda done it years ago.. I wanted to go with the 60 but it was way tight for clearance and I'm going to be lowering the car next. So I went 2", non-mandrel bends, I really wanted mandrel bends but just too expensive for the budget.. I'm sure it will be fine for towing hehe.. I'll post some pics later on today.
And a video so we can hear it!
Well the test drive went well- the power curve is different.. a lot more from 3500rpm and up to redline. It has a great sound but there is an annoying vibration sound that seems to be coming from the tip. Gonna put the bigger resonator back in - the one that says Daewoo on it.
Edit- so the vibration sound is gone im told it has something to do with back pressure.. Anyways with the one resonator and the delta 40 with inlet and outlet on opposite sides the whole thing mounts up well.
The butt dyno can definitely feel it through the rpm range.. Ive yet to open it up i got plugs and wires to do to fix a hesitation .. So after next tuesday ill post a sound clip and pic.

yeah I would be interested to hear it.
btw how do i post the video or audio clip?
-really liking the setup its an adult sound, not a bad teenage fart can.. theres a bit of popping you can hear on deceleration but its not too loud. overall thoughts:
-more power throughout the rpm range
-less vibration transmitted to the gas pedal.. ie. smoother cruising feel
-throttle response is way better when blipping the throttle on downshifts (ive gotten so used to blipping the throttle way ahead of the downshift itll take some relearning)
-reasonable sweet tone, not too bassy at idle, i am really happy with this decision

i have a sound clip thats decent i mean it was taken with my phone placed behind the exhaust around the distance i've seen in other videos.. it doesn't capture the sound really well but i guess its best i got for now.. its an m4a file i tried to attach it but it wont upload to the forum..
The easiest thing IMO is just upload a video to youtube and post it here.
ok next day off i will post a link... btw we did the plugs and wires and oil change last night and the hesitation that started some weeks ago is gone.. i must admit i was still using the original plugs ... ahem.. anyway its really surprising how much more pull there is.. fun fun fun

ok so i cant directly upload the m4a file to youtube which was better quality but heres something at least... i have recording gear in storage, once that set up i will mic this propa.. i think this recording does sound kinda farty but the true sound is much better imho.. you can see how well the delta 40 fits into the underside of the car - we could have mounted it lower but because of the hitch and the car being lowered i wanted it tucked up high (it looks like a can but its just mounted vertically with offset inlet and outlet).. no show stopper of a car here lookswise but she runs just fiiine

Sounds pretty good to me. Doesn't sound obnoxiously loud, or raspy.
