Great idea guys!  I always thought the stock exhaust tip on the I4 looked pretty nice with that rolled/flared end and large (for a 2.0l) diameter, but just had to get my resonator and muffler done this Monday (13 years, can't complain) and went to Meineke because it was quick and cheap and my wallet's hurting from the last three months of other mechanical/restoration work.  Now I've just got cut tubing for an exhaust tip that looks like excrement and I think it's smaller diameter to boot, not to mention the sound's totally changed and I hate it.  I was hoping to get that nice mechanical singing/whirring back like when it was new, instead I've now got a stuttering low end rumble that sounds about the same as when it was broken, just not nearly as loud.



I should've got quotes from them and the dealer and then made a choice, instead of just assuming I'd be okay with the work.  I was just in such a hurry to get rid of that embarrassing junker sound, now I'm basically stuck with it...
