I really like the sound of this. Another member just posted in the "What did you do to your e46 today" thread with the same muffler, except he cut out and straight piped the second resonator.
I love the black, very different from almost every other exhaust. Only other black exhaust I have seen was by Works for the BRZ/GT86.
On a budget, this is a great choice. Thanks for the vidsyou should post up a few more and do a drive by

Haha he said that yesterday. I want the TSE 3 but its pretty pricey. Was thinking of getting this muffler and cutting the resonator out since I can use the welder at work and not pay for labor. I just wonder how loud it would be if I added catless headers on top of that. Car would not be smog legal, and too much noise is an immediate Blu Light Special.
I love how the muffle itself is black so it sort of just blends in and is not that noticeable. Same principle as to why I always have gray cars, just sorta blend. That and they hide dirt / grim really well.
How much was shipping roughly?
I got the muffler off Amazon for $115 shipped from the seller "Everything-Aftermarket". I love the black! I think its different and adds uniqueness to the car. And the quality of the muffler is amazing. Reason I went this route for exhaust is because I didn't want to drop a ton of cash on a catback, as I am a college student. I knew that Vibrant would give me a good sound and that's exactly what it did. IMHO, I wouldn't spend the money on a catback when this gives you an amazing sound, and for a great price.
If you added headers, and cut the resonator out, it would be loud lol but without headers, it sounds great, and doesn't drone. I plan to cut out the second resonator soon. We don't have to worry about the cats here in Florida lol I would go for it, this sound will not dissappoint.![]()

Okay, so as requested, here are the videos I have of Luca's (bosszhp) exhaust setup. His car has the same Vibrant Streetpower muffler (#1148) as mine, but ALSO has the second resonator cut out. Sorry the videos are short, but it still shows you the sound.
***Keep in mind, this is about 30 minutes after he had it installed so it hasn't fully broken in yet***
