I'm a tire tech but my shop has mechanics, who are also master welders, and after looking through Youtube, I found this video and was very interested.

Seems almost too good to be true, the natural sound of the 2.5L is just amazing! Has anyone else tried this? If so, does it sound as nice as this video, or similar?

I havent tried it yet but it does sound amazing. I am looking to upgrade my exhaust in the near future and this might be an option. The only thing I see might be a problem is running open pipes on a NA. There is a certain amount of back pressure we NA boys need for proper combustion (turbos create their own). I know that with a proper tune you can eliminate the need for back pressure.

Might be better with a hi-flow cat instead of open.
