yeah it does sound mean, i'm not sure where the howling sound comes from, i have thought it is from the exhaust not installed properly but it is. its coming down from under the car, the sound is like "blow off valve" when you release the gas or when revving and it gets to 500-1000rpm range you get that sound.

i got it on ebay from this seller: wwwgautopartscom
very fast delivery. the aFe came straight from the aFe factory.

the cleaning you have to do regularly. it comes pre-oiled and i think a 5000 miles (im not sure, theres the instruction but i forgot). the filter is a lifetime filter so you dont need to replace it ever. if you prefer the dry one (not oiled) its called Pro Dry S and that one cleans easier with just running water.

So I was watching the YouTube vids and the sound is amazing! Then I looked at the title and it says aFe intake + Borla off-road which leads me to wonder exactly how much of the sound we hear in the vids is actually due to the intake vs your exhaust.

Regardless, your car sounds MEAN. Definitely better (to me) than any of the other audio clips I've heard.

All 3 of these sound like you are keeping the revs high in manual shift mode, which nobody really does. Do you have any footage of what it sounds like in more common circumstances (from a stop at partial / full throttle, cruising, etc.)?
