There's some smoke, but it's not that warm and the car was still cold. Exhaust mods: Plog, 2.5" DP, and a hole in the resonator.

Sounds similar to mine. I'm running 2.5" DP w/ high flow cat on an otherwise stock exhaust. I love the sound at idle, but mine gets kinda raspy when on the gas. And yours is LOUD like mine at startup too.

That's a custom hole in the resonator right? I'll listen to it tonight when I'm not at work again :D . I need to get a camera that records sound then I'll get my exhaust clip up.

It sounds pretty good! I was riding around in the gf's GP this weekend and I started to like the stock exhaust again...and then I got back to mine and that changed right back around. :D

The custom hole in the resonator was done by the Department of Motor Vehicles. They're great at making holes in exhaust systems. :D

Ordered a video camera today, hopefully I'll get that in the next week and I'll get exhaust clips of my and my GF's car before getting new mufflers, then afterwards. She should have PEMs and a DP by then too.

I think it's burning oil a lil bit because the smoke is blue. I was waiting for someone to notice...

It's not the lim. It's valve seals. The smoke goes away after about a minute.

Man I forgot how bad stock mufflers sound. Sounds just like my first GTP did with fully stock exhaust with a pipe in place of the resonator. I couldnt stand the rasp and dry sound they produce. Im extremely happy with my Dynomax mufflers in front of a 3" exhaust with stock mani's. Although theres a little bit of drone at lower RPM's with the convertor locked. Might have to put a cherry bomb in there at some point to see what that does. But other than that, zero rasp 8)
