First of all. No damn wonder the factory exhaust is so restrictive.


Secondly, videos do not do this exhaust justice. It has a deep beefy growl without being over the top loud. I have the tiniest bit of drone in a small tiny range just below 2k RPM, But it doesn't bother me, it's basically nonexistent to me. My girlfriend even likes it and says it sounds good. After seeing the factory exhaust, I'm not surpised that a relatively simple change like this will add some HP. As you can see above, that Y is flat for no reason. For those considering this exhaust, just before the exhaust splits to each muffler, the pipes are very close to touching, exhaust guy tacked in a bar to keep them apart and prevent them from rubbing. The tips were a very tight fight, sadly one part of the tip got the paint scraped off, but it's easily fixed and easy to reach. They tried very carefully to prevent it, but it was unavoidable. Overall, I'm very happy. It's exactly what I wanted. It's a nice aggressive deep rumble without overdoing it, especially for a daily driver. I highly recommend this exhaust. Next will be taking it to the dyno to see how much this released.
And now...the videos.

.

PS: for those considering painting the tips black, I got a lot of compliments on it. And I think it suits the car perfectly
