Off the 2 videos provided, or the multiple other videos out there? Because the videos that were just posted don’t show much at all.
His average RPM’s were 1,500 lol. I think max RPM in that video was 2,200 - you’re not going to be able to hear much of anything.
Which validates my point - picking out an exhaust system off internet videos is challenging, and silly - but I have no other way to do it lol.

"upload some normal driving sound/video clips"
"This is about as aggressive as I get on the gas, mostly did it for the video. I normally am pretty tame seeing as how I am mainly driving in the city."
Uploaded the video for the community to show normal daily driving sound output for those who aren't heavy on the gas. Seeing as how almost all of videos on yoututbe of the exhaust showed output at higher RPM's already, I figured I'd show how it sounded at lower RPM's.
I like how subtle the sound is, and love how it sounds as soon as you turn on the engine in the morning. You get slight growl on low end acceleration. I don't know if it's just in my head or not, but it feels like I lost a little power, getting onto a freeway ramp used to be easy, but with this exhaust on I feel I need to push on the gas a little more just to stay at a steady speed.

As far as leaks, do I just check for any liquid dripping from the connection?

Yeah, I thought I read somewhere about using gaskets or something, but didn't see any existing factory gaskets, and the people at Tanabe said everything would be just plug and play so I didn't pay it any mind.

There is a little bit of a drone when you're keeping your foot on the gas to maintain your speed say when you're going up a hill, but that's to be expected I guess.
Still need someone to drive it so I can see what it sounds like from the outside though
