try throwing in another resonator. it should make it sound much better.

since you are supercharged, you definitely could use the 3" but a good tune is definitely recommended to get ur gas mileage up.

I'm in Chandler and can take a look at it for you. I have tried at least 10 different mufflers on mine and can tell you what they will sound like. Also if you lost power under 4k you went to big to fast, I can help you there to w/o having to scrap all your 3".

OK, low end power loss was not from the exhaust. Turns out my engine coolant temperature sensor was bad. This was also the reason I was getting such bad mpg's - engine was stuck in open loop. Had it fixed this weekend, and it's driving much better. If you get a P0125 code and bad gas mileage/weak performance, check your ect sensor.
