Aside from the Magnaflow resonator it all seems top notch, does it drone much?

Love the setup so far. There is a noticeable gain in the whole power band. There isn't any drone at highway speed in 5th and is quiet, but in the lower gears though it can get loud especially when heavy on the throttle at high rpm. I'm almost considering another resonator to quiet it a little, but I'll wait till the supercharger is on and see how that affects the volume. I'm sure some wouldn't consider it that loud though.

On a side note. What can I get to eliminate the minor rattles? I can hear it hitting against the underside on downshifts and when letting off the throttle.

go down there and see if its close to any heat shielding or anything. if it is bend the heat shield or whatever it could rattle against out of the way.

I might as well post this since I have it, but it is just an idle vid. I'll get a better one soon.

sounds kinda odd, but I'm sure 99 % of it is due to the microphone, sounds like it sounds much better in person.

as a note, if you go to do another video, take it from 20-30 feet away, it'll help the sound.

I like the sound but driving by the camera or taking an on board video would help a lot.

Yeah, it sounds different in person. I took that with my dslr which doesnt have much of a mic. When I get a chance I'll put my HD handycam on a tripod and do up a better vid with a drive by.
