You don't need to be a member to tag along on something like this. IrocZlover (Tammy) usually posts on C5 about upcoming events that the club sponsors.
If you're interested, the next club meeting is the 29th at the Burien Roundtable Pizza. Not sure about the time, but I think it's at 5:00. Drop by.

I snagged this picture from a friends facebook page.

I still can't believe we met the wife on the beach a couple weekends ago!
Kayaking? C'mon, you could have brought your kayak to the beach- there's water there!

Don't want to void warranty so the AFM delete not an option. I don't really know what Turn Down means? It is a catback - no resonators, just pipes from the cats to the mufflers. I talked to a couple of muffler shops about "J" pipes as I read on the forum that this can help but no one knows what the heck I am talking about.

I think the wrap is a good option. The carbon fiber might look cool. I like subtle mods and don't want it to stick out too much. I'm going to look at that or maybe just gloss black. We'll see.

I'm having my splitter vinyl wrapped with carbon fiber pattern at Guardline in Puyallup. $100. Pick it up and installing it tomorrow. They are also applying the carbon fiber to the bow ties.

Pictures in a couple days.

Notice on this Magnaflow set-up that the j-pipes are attached to the exhaust pipe at a 90 degree angle to the flow path, which does not affect the flow at all. The ends of these tubes are capped, which prevents no exhaust gas to pass through them. This becomes a closed-chamber environment where the offending frequency or drone, as determined by calculation, is eliminated by feeding it back into the flow path out of phase. Simply put, it works.

I need to ride in it to experience this AFM drone people complain about.

when I had my flowmasters installed, and even with my muffler delete, I "HEAR" the AFM kick in and such.

but it doesn't bug me.

However, you have the cat back, so you got rid of your stock center resonator, didn't you?

The other option is to take a ride in my 'bee (it still has the center resonator), and see if the AFM drone bugs you..

If it doesn't bug you, maybe we could trade your X-pipe for my center resonator, or work out a deal around that premise. (I'm deleting my AFM soon).

I don't consider my "drone" bad at all, even with no mufflers due to the fact I still have the center resonator.. But I hear those that get rid of the center resonator have AFM drone issues.
