Default just installed F- Sport exhaust, first impression

at WOT the exhaust sounds extremely loud but not to the point causing any discomfort to ears. i like the fact that at highway speed cruising (which is 80% of the time when i drive the car) the exhaust note from inside the cabin is just as quiet as the stock. overall, i like it, i like it more when the car is parked, the F-Sport fitment is absolutely stunning.

should be the same as any of the axle-backs for any year- about 7 hp.

My 350 had the F-Sport exhaust on it when I bought it. Wasn't particularly keen on it at first. It's definately grown on me and I think it has just the right amount sound for the car. Not overbearing like some of the V8 exhausts and not tinny like the 4 banger coffee can exhausts. (Another reason I like the V6's). Higway driving with the stereo around 18, I don't even start to notice the drone till around 80mph and then I just kick the stereo up a tick anyway. I have the same issue with the passenger side getting dirtier than the driver side, thought it was just my car but apparently not. Love the sound at the improptu stop light drag.

^ Get the F-Sport intake, and it's a harmonious symphony. They go awesome together.
