Beautiful! Why the flex section? Don't you have poly motor mounts?

I have Prothane inserts in the front and rear torsion mounts, but I actually shimmed the front mount (timing belt area) with additional rubber stoppers from Mitsu to limit movement which works well. Having three of those rubber stopper shims on the front side and one on the rear side is really tight. I'd just rather be safe than sorry, the flex section is not causing a restriction. It has internal webbing just like the outside so the flow is not seeing the shape of the flex section.

The Borla was the main reason I looked at having two resonators. My Apex-i N1 system got considerably louder with the new turbo swap and it came with two resonators. Moving up to 3.5 inches was going to be even louder with the straight thru muffler. I liked the N1 system's tone and sound level, so I decided to duplicate the component list. By no means is the car quiet now, it's still pretty loud at idle and on acceleration with a deep throaty tone, but once I level out in 5th gear at cruise speeds, you barely hear or feel any exhaust. On my old Spyder I had a bad resonance problem right at cruise speed which drove me crazy, just didn't want it to happen to me again.

I'll be around, trust me.
