I guess then it does not work on awd. Because i wanted to buy and was advised not to. Because there are some fitment issues..
Anyways, i am happy with my setup. Just need to squeeze couple horses from my catback it is only bottle neck left on my exhaust.

I finally got the Berk HFC and Megan Racing Y pipe installed today. I was afraid there's gonna be rasp, but I didn't detect it. I hope there isn't any rasp in this video clip.

Mine sounds like a tank compered to yours. Louder. It is strange that there is no RASP. Do you get any cabin drone?

Yes, I do get way more cabin drone, especially going uphill at any speed. I love bass (as in music and movies, hence, my nick "bassy"), but this setup is like listening to my subwoofer belting out 20Hz and below frequencies every time I drive my car. My old setup of Tanabe midpipe and Tanabe axle back (stock cats and y pipe) was almost perfect as it had no rasp, drone and wasn't as loud as this new setup.

I stopped by a local exhaust shop to find out if I could add more resonators to my setup, but they didn't recommend it. I'll probably have to dynamat my floor and trunk to block out some drone.

They said with my current setup right now, there's really no section big enough to accommodate more resonators without hitting the cross members. What they had available in shop were some generic and Magnaflow resonators. They looked about 18" long and 4"-5" OD. They also said that since there are two resonators in the Tanabe mid pipe already, adding more wouldn't quiet it down. I would need to get a different axle back/muffler if I wanted less loudness.

Which type of Dynamat did you use? I think I want to try the DynaPad.

This is what i used:

Amazon Amazon

And yes there are space for resonators. Vibrant 1142 3" Ultra Quiet helped a lot to quite down droning and Vibrant 1792 helped with rasp.... In other words 1142 made biggest impact on sounding of my exhaust.
