No, stay away from a silencer. They look really ridiculous, and make it sound worse IMO.

Just get a resonator welded onto your midpipe, shouldn't be too much, your local exhaust shop can do it.

yep the resonator on the AP is not a real good one at killing noise,just swap it out with a nice one about the same size and you will be good.

Also if you plan on header for the car,you will cringe the first time you hear it with the AP exhaust........if you goto the Seattle meet and Greet you can hear Giovanni's AP with the MMW header,pretty sure he has not added resonator to it yet.

If you hear mine you can get an idea of how the resonator tunes the sound down and volume down without taking away from the overall exhaust note......I have HKS can but the sound is about the same as AP volume wise and close in tone too.

i know this is an oooold post, but i just got my AP installed yesterday. and yeah, it is daaamn loud. fiance isnt too happy. i like the sound a lot but for a daily driver in the city (lots of cops) it would be nice to turn down the volume just a little. so you guys are saying if i just take it to an exhaust place and say "can you weld another resonator on my midpipe?" i should be good? anyone have a video or can get a video of what it will sound like? % decrease? sorry imma noob :D thanks!
