Does anyone know if this is a lot more quieter than the F-sport exhaust?

the exhaust drone is sometimes more pleasant to listen to then your own gf

Got this installed on Saturday. It seems to fit perfectly and I didn't have to do any zip-tie mods. I'll check the alignment carefully again today. It looks a lot nicer than stock. I only really hear it between 2000 - 3000 rpms.

Had a tough time re-using the spring loaded bolts so just used a regular nut and bolt setup. I also added a gasket on the Y pipe.

Great mod for the price.

We couldnt reuse one of the spring bolts no fing way was it compressing back in, lucky we had another longer thinner bolt spring to use ))))

Haha. I figured I could use that money that I save and get the F-sport Intake which actually has some use (the reusable filter). And mainly the drone from at 2.5k - 3k is just sick.. which just so happens to be 80 mph on the freeway... =( I wanted to hear the M2 in person to see how it sounds and see if it drones as bad.

How much did the m2 + invidia mid pipe run you?

Can you post any vids of it while in the cockpit or outside the car? That'd be great cause I"m thinking of picking up this combo myself.

the invidia midpipe ran about $367 and the m2 axle back cost $299 now. all through ebay. the drone is ok around 2.5-3rpms at normal city driving. i mean you can hear the drone with your volume at 40 still haha. but you will get use to it like its not even there.

this is how it exactly sounds exterior wise.

and for inside this is how it sounds...not a 2is but the sound is identical

hope this helps!
