So how much work did you have to do to get the Volant to work and fit correctly?

the volant went on pretty well, but i think i'm going to fab up some heavier duty radiator supports to mount underneath it.

Questions: other than those two "mufflers" close to the tips, is that another muffler/resonator up closer to the front y pipe connection?
How loud is that system compared to your stock setup?

I have the same setup, it's a lm2 muffler in the I pipe. It's a real deep sound, kinda like true duels if that makes sense.

Do you have headers and/or cats? Any motor mods? I am curious how this exhaust sounds with a modded motor, headers, and no cats.

Enjoy the bright blue colors of that volant... it only stays that way for about a month

I noticed a **** ton of throttle response out of the volant intake. However the fitment and support of it were complete crap. I had to hack the **** out of mine for it to fit correctly. And build a radiator bracket. It looks nice now, and works correctly, but it took a lot of work to get it that way.

I don't really care if they get dirty, i'd like to switch them to red eventually and i totally agree, it's way more responsive. And the exhaust isn't too terribly loud, but i came from no muffler to this. Stock manifold's and Y for now.

and here are the vids
