It is not a ricer sound at all, I hate those cannons they put on the back of STI's & such. This is a much more deeper growl & only happens when hitting the 3k rpm mark.

I highly highly recommend Chris. Chris is also a 6speed member "Sterlingc1975"

The Gundo sounds amazing. Could not be happier. I will 100% be going back to Chris for more upgrades in the future.

Can it be done on a Turbo exhaust?

It has nothing to do with passing smog as its just the muffler.

Thanks for this informative thread guys!

Question- when you guys are talking about 2" or 1.5" bypass, is this from using (altering) all stock parts OR is this an additional part that you are adding to the Gundo? What's the sound difference btw a 2" - 1.5" bypass difference in your opinions?

..I'm just learning about this and trying to get a better idea on which route to go. -Deciding if I should go with Fabspeed Bypass or FVD Bypass (or whether neither is needed for this Gundo hack at all)??

mikeson is an unknown quantity at this point
I checked Chris's Irvine shop but he is no longer work there.
Does anybody recommend some shop in Orange County? Around Anaheim?
It is hard to find someone already done and good job.
Thanks

Does the gundo hack affect emissions testing or any of the car sensors? In other words, is it common to get ch can engine light or anything else?

No. You will pass emissions without an issue. It's just sound. I pass every time since getting mine done.

no effect on emmissions testing at all as it's all post catalytic converter

2" seems to yield a deeper, throatier sound

I much prefer the hack to anything else.

Had my car inspected here in the state of VT for a registration, and the mechanic had to drive it for a safety check. I forgot just how awesome it sounds on the drive-away. When standing on the curb and listening to your car pull away, I can guarantee you will be BLOWN away.

Just had to post my fav pic from Bristol Motor Speedway - believe I was running a factory PSE at the time, as evidenced by the tips. Took it off, sold if for a couple grand and went back to the Hack. Once you hack, you never go back.

Bristol!

You should do it, the price is right and it sounds great only when you get on it, when you drive like a grandma, it sounds like stock! KH
