Current state of my 2015 RS

[blazblu82]

Mods include MSD coil pack, cooler spark plugs, ZZP LED's up front, AEM SRI and cat-back straight pipe exhaust with stock tip. Stil a WIP, but happy with the car!



Cold Start

A little drivin'

Goin' for a ride

Yeah looks good! Solid! Like that you kept the stock tip. I might do something like that. They don’t sound terrible opening up the exhaust a little.

No, the car sounds very good, IMO. I've seen videos of others that sound really bad, like a fart can was installed even though it's straight piped. My exhaust does not get raspy at all. It sounds great through entire RPM range and there isn't any in-cabin drone. I want to get mid-pipe replaced next.

Would hate to see any car become a fart car for sure. Would a resonator delete with a 2"in/2"out MagnaFlow muffler sound bad? Not very experienced with things like this.

If you're wanting to replace mid pipe and down pipe later, recommend getting cat-back done with 2.5" tubing.

So far, my car has not exhibited the nasty farting I've heard other sonics/cruzes have. Not sure why. If it is there, I can't tell inside the car. I need to get someone to blip the throttle while I stand behind the exhaust. I imagine it'll become more apparent once I replace the mid and down pipes later on.
