PSA: The MBRP 3" Exhaust is not 3" all the way through

could i get a shop to cut the end off the resonator and flare the exhaust and weld on a new flange?

Unlikely. You could do it but the baffles on the input side appear to be 2.25".

So replace the resonater section... that seems like a little too much

maybe ill call mbrp on teusday and ask if they could make me a resonater with the right parts on it

That's certainly a possibility. Or just go straight pipe, haha.

Im going with the Ford Racing exhaust. I cn get a gd deal on it. An exhaust is only as big as its smallest point. That being said 2.5" has shown to be more then adequate for these cars.

I would still like to hear it. I would be interested if the tone isn't bad an I like oem fit.

I checked my MBRP before mounting it. Yes, 2.25" inlet. But 2J DP has 2.5" outlet. For the difference of 0.12" lip at the junction between the two, I decided not to worry and hooked 'er up.

How is it for sound with the 2j and mbrp

Wonderful idle, loud on the pedal, ok at cruise, big deep volume above 3000 rpm. Have to drive it a few weeks and see if I can live with it.
