The guy who worked on my car happens to also be an auto enthusiast and has a crazily modified Supra Turbo. I will go to their next meet - apparently they have lots of members up here. He mentioned close to 50 members that show up for their monthly meets!

I'm having issues with the clips, can't watch them for some reason but the pics to say a lot when compared to stock exhaust and piping pics. Great job. I'm going to have to go to my wife's labtop to see the vids..

My neighbours haven't even noticed. It is ONLY loud on hard acceleration. My neighbours don't even know I have modded the exhaust. Even on part throttle, it is not that noticeable - just a hint of its aggresive tone is detectable

Heard the clip yet? What did you think of it (assuming you have by now)?

wow that's MEAN and MEAN man, sounds really muscle!!!!!! congrats on the whole custom setup!
i wonder though, in terms of the sound, how much you think is from exhaust and how much is from intake?
and in terms of from inside the cabin, maybe you can describe a bit about the sound? you know, it's good to hear sound outside but sometimes it's a headache to hear too much sound from inside. from outside the exhaust sounds pretty damn loud!
congrats again man!

It is very loud inside and outside the car on WOT ONLY. That alone is worth the price of admission. On start up, the exhaust does not have a very deep note to it, however when you drive off and accelerate very hard, the exhaust note is pure music to my ears!!! It sounds like a more sophisticated version of a V8 mustang, however deeper than than a mid engine exotic car like a Lambo or Ferrari.
When cruising at city speeds or the highway and the tranny has shifted into 5th, you can barely tell the difference compared to the L-tuned mufflers by themselves (my previous only exhaust mod). So for example when I come home my neighbours don't know I am coming home. I was very concerned that the exhaust would be loud ALL the time, but that is not the case at all.
