I'm thinking about picking up a GoPro... But that's mod money so we'll see. I thought about some cabin vids but I don't think that will do it justice.
You can always swap in a larger resonator down the road, assuming your mechanic has the skills to cut the mid section and weld new flanges on the pipes. And if you're going to go that route... is there room for a second pair of 12" resonators?
Other than that, you're just going to have to get used to it. Personally, I could hear that all day long and be happy.

Oh, I'm happy and am planning on getting used to it. I was going to order the 18 inch resonator like Choman but after conversation with Lance I thought this was the way I wanted to go. And it was / is I dunno, just a little louder in the cabin than I anticipated. So probably louder outside too. I know it sounds awful good in the parking garage, need to find a few tunnels.
I'll try and find the pics of the exhaust when we had it laid out. My guys might be good but I don't want them cutting the X pipe. I'm plenty happy!
Tires ordered today. Almost ordered rotors and pads then I started to second guess myself so that will probably happen tomorrow. Slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch

Thank you Brad, much appreciated! I'm wondering.... If I wait until the meet, maybe I could convince Rochester to detail my engine bay?
If all goes well there will be some pics with the new shoes tomorrow. I hope.

It's been slow going but three of the Rays are on now finally. Now... If I can just find those center caps you sent me I'll be in good shape!

I got all the coating on this set taken care of yesterday so I'm back today getting the tires mounted and balanced and put on. I still have to take the other set back to the get the coating taken care of on them but I have a little time for that. Maybe next week or the week after.
Hoping to have some pics after work once I get the caps on but I may be able to get some before that.
ETA - different shop, I've been chased out of the Bay Area today so no progress pics
