I eliminated my resonator and added an X pipe, which was bent and welded by the local muffler shop that I have used for over 20 years. No issues, no codes etc... but I can hear the beast now.

If you like the sound, try installing one of those links that props the hatch glass open!

This has the deep tone ( a nice amount of base to it) that you are after. No resonator and no mufflers.

I don't see any system on that website for my C4..I must be blind

I wondered why I couldn't find the mufflers on mine when I first got it. It makes sense now. Someone knew that cats and a resonator were enough for mitigating the loudness and still keeping a nice tone. I may look at going with a less restrictive resonator but not adding mufflers. No way!!!! Love my setup.

WEK.
