hope this helps.

so if you guys had to vote.
keep in mind i have two resonators

HKS hi-power or Tanabe Concept G

i would prefer the Tanabe Concept G if the guys willing to sell it and it would kill rasp

Ok guys, I have been lurking around the forum checking out all the possible exhaust setups for minimal rasp and quality sound. I ended up getting...

WR 4-2-1 header w/ S pipe, Tsudo mid-pipe w/ AR25 Resonator, and Tanabe Concept G.

I bought it all friday so it should be here for installation this weekend. I'll let you know how it sounds!

Sounds great- in fact, it sounds pretty similar to the Skunk2 with just an intake (which is what I have,) surprisingly. On one of your vids, I saw that you commented about having a cat welded on. A hi-flow, or just a regular cat? Do you remember the brand?

check my profile for my setup, absolutely perfect to me.
You don't happen to have a sound clip do you? I'm curious to see what the sound difference of Skunk2 + cat is vs. Skunk2 + AR25. From what I remember from installing mine, it looks like you'd only have room to weld in either a cat or an extra resonator, not both...and the resonator that comes with it seems pretty decent.

I don't have a header, but have considered the MMW one in the past. I just happened to read this thread, which lead me to youtube sound clips, and it perked my interest again.

because it's not, oem shrinks after the resonator and megan stays the same size and has no cat, just straight thru
