Re: EST Catback + JRL Mod (tomedkaz)
Dude, why do you think you need to cut your EST exhaust? That doesn't get touched...

Re: EST Catback + JRL Mod (tomedkaz)
baxteR and I were discussing this at the NE GTG thingy this past wekend. I'm sure the resonator on the EST system serves a purpose to decrease droning. And I also mentioned how guilty I'd feel cutting that system up.
Unfortunately, there's only one way to find out...

Re: EST Catback + JRL Mod (Short Circuit)
What do you mean? The EST catback comes with a resonator. Perhaps the thing you're thinking of is the cat?
I just can't hear the typical 5-cylinder drone when I rev up-and down... you know what sound I'm talking about...

the real sexy 5 cylinder sound.
You think removing the EST resonator will do that?!

| VolvoKidS60R did it on his EST and it sounds better, more aggressive. EST is a bit too quiet for my taste as well with the cat on at least. |

You know, I don't.

I'll see about making one in the next few days. I'm gonna have to borrow a video camera.
You know, I don't.

If you are going to do this, you could always have a 3" -> 2x2" collector made by someone like Burns Stainless. Good prep if you ever decide to get a 3" downpipe, avoids a 2.5" bottle neck (which I don't think really makes a quantifiable difference in power, but if you're a stickler for details).
That is the set-up I'm running (EST is Jetex clone), and I LOVE the sound.
NOTE: I'm guessing that the below pics are appropriate, can't see hosted pics behind this firewall... mods, I apologize if they are actually porn...
