I mention the Mom and Pop shops because the cost to have my resonator chopped off and a tube welded in its place at a larger shop here was $60 versus $30 at a smaller shop further out from town. Just something to think about. Do some research and ask questions at the shop before you spend the money. I actually did the mod myself as I have access to a TIG welder and other tools.
One last question. From the video I am assuming the sound is a bit quieter then just a full on straight pipe. Do you daily drive the car? How is living with the exhaust?
I daily my car. I just took an 1900 mile long road trip and you don't notice unless the windows are down. Even then at speed you don't really notice, it just sounds mechanical like a sporty car should sound. I have almost 77k miles and counting. It's one of my favorite parts of daily driving it.
