I found this. It isn't available yet, but hey it has to be getting close. Does replacing the resinator void the warranty?

Good job! You found the first cat-back system and its from my favorite exhaust company. It should only void the warranty on the factory exhaust system. But then again you will no longer have the factory exhaust system so what difference will it make. I can't wait to get my hands on one!

Hey, I saw the site for the whole exhaust...
My question is ? Why is there big "S" between the resonator assy and muffler.
The quickest direction between two points is a straight line.
But it should not as curved as shown...

Thoughts ?

They are following the exact same path as the factory exhaust. Get under your HHR and look. There are very few cars out there with a straight exhaust from the factory. They need to go around things like your gas tank and rear axle. Your exhaust manifold dumps on the passenger side and the exhaust ends on the driver side. Now do you see where the shape comes from.

I need a sound clip before I get excited. I refuse to drive a car that sounds like a lawn mower or an angry swarm of bee's.

Magnaflow systems always sound awesome! They don't use baffles in there mufflers so they have a cool thrushing noise kind of like glass packs. I had a Magnaflow cat-back system on my Mustang and I loved it. They have me sold from my previous system. I also like Borla exhaust systems.

Any exhaust system sounds good on a stang, even a flowmaster. I will just be really pissed if I get one then I sound like a fart canned Honda.

Very good point, same here. I hate that loud annoying buzzing sound of Japanese imports. I love how those kids just swap the muffler and think they are getting a major HP boost.
