While waiting for a worked g200 to be built, im going to get the exhaust done on my gem. If I have extractors, 2.5" piping (looking for a bit of power here with the g200) all into a 2.5" straight through muffer behind the diff, will it be far too loud? Should I put another resonator in half way down?
Cheers

I had a standard manifold with a 2 inch exhaust with a single muffler, oval sports muffler (offset entry centre exit) and at a guess, I would say it is too loud. On the ZZ/T I have at the moment has a standard manifold going into a 2.5 inch exhaust with a cat, oval sports muffler and a hotdog. Again at a geuss, I would say this is within limits but still sounds quite good (a bit wussy sounding at low revs though).
