sounds ok at idle but on the throttle its not my cup of tea. i want more of a civilized luxurious tone coming from my luxory car. sounds to me almost like a domestic v8

Needs more beef to the sound imo I think leaving the resonators in would give it more V8 bass.. I like the 70's muscle car gurgle though

I like how this GS sounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds4dE...eature=related

I wish my GS sounded like this, best V8 sound I've ever heard probably. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbhYT...eature=related

Sweet, but geez the idle is rough. btw nice comparison to the best sounding V8 on earth. I cant believe how hard it was to tell them apart

Yea I love the way my car idles... every morning I remote start my car while i'm standing behind it and I just stand there and listen to the sound while my car warms up... It never gets old... But yea in the vid with the mustang you can hear the mustang exhaust over mine... both cars have the same tone his was just louder...

Unfortunately that 2008 GT with only 12k miles in that video fell victim to vandals.... They broke into the car poured paint on the seats and in the gas tank and all over the car, Cut all the leather seats with a knife, took a hammer to the dash, and to top it off they reached under the dash and cut all the factory wires...

The worst behavior we have in France is the burning of the car.

Sorry to hear that for your friend

Denis.
