Exhaust sound of my KL-DE

I did a recording with my mobile phone. Enjoy!
2.5" system after cat with a 2.5" in and 3.5" out muffler. The "sound damper" on the muffler was inserted. Sounds a lot more without it.
Cat and headers are original... so far.

2.5" inch exhaust on a NA KLDE? Or is it turbocharged

Anyway, nice exhaust note

It's NA. Very, very hard to find 2.25" here in Sweden. And 2.0" was a bit too small.

This one is without the muffler damper inserted.

I'm waiting for my order of a new Magnaflow catalytic converter and resonator to arrive.

jschrauwen: No, as it turned out my catalytic converter was bad. I hope the new one will solve my emission problem so I don't have to use any acetone.

The sound is a bit different now. I have replaced my catalytic converter and resonator with new stainless steel Magnaflow instead. You can hear it from inside my car in any of my movies posted here:

What muffler you've got, is it really loud inside??? lots of vibration??? did you change the muffler hangers? it sounds very good

I've got a Vivid 2.5" in and 3.5" out muffler. With the silencer plugged in, it dosen't sound that much. But without, I can't stand it between 2000 and 3000 rpm.
Before i got the Magnaflow cat. and resonator, the sound without silencer plugged in was ok.

I used a thin metal "band" around the muffler with two welded hangers. Though I didn't use stainless steel, and now the hanger is broken.
