that's back when they were relatively new. it's kind of a best of both worlds style of tuning.
Just the stock exhaust. So I will have the glasspack in place of the resonator and no mufflers.

If your keeping stock exhaust then keep the stock resonator. Anything else and it becomes obnoxious real quick

I agree with the lope thing! Just a little. Maybe a 224/224 114 or a 224/228 114 would probably be nice for a daily. But I dont want to put a lot of money into the car. Thats why I bought a glasspack and did a muffler delete instead of the whole catback thing. A WS6 is on the shopping list

i did a budget exhaust at first that contained just cutting off at the y and putting a single in dual out muffler in its place, then making new tips. actually sounded pretty good.

yes, but i did leave the resonator on. it was loud but not obnoxious. i later switched to full 3 inch, high flow cat, no resonator and dual 1 chamber mufflers.. its a little to loud for me now.
