i just got an is lip yesterday and couldn't wait to put it on finally i got the clips from BMA today and it seems like the lip is too thick to fit inside the clips i was wondering if anyone else had this problem, and what you did to fix it. i was thinking to shave down the lip to make it fit but im kinda hesitant to do that just yet.. thanks.

General Topics / Exhaust Resonator

« on: June 07, 2007, 09:02:10 PM »

i just recently had this problem. i took off my old dynomax cuz i just hated the "ricer" sound and put on a magnaflow straight thought thinking it would help but it didnt. mind you i cut off my resonator.  so i went to auto zone spent 22 bucks picked up a cherry bomb and thew it on. it help a little but it still has a raspy noise to it when you really step on it. hope this helps

« on: May 24, 2007, 04:12:02 PM »
