I have lots of questions...first off, sounds nice! What was your total cost if you don't mind me asking? I have never listened to my stock exhaust (svt) from the ground behind the car (I know generally. but humor me:), so can you compare the two in volume and tone (inside and out). Can you also comment on the subtleties in tone that the camera couldn't pick up (smoother? edgier? more treble? bass?). Do people snap their heads around when you slam it? Can you throw a rev and get acknowledged? Thanks for answering all my anal questions. Also, props for taking video and hosting it for us! Its almost impossible to hear what all these setups actually sound like. Speaking of that, were you going for sound or performance?

Hmm well not really Definate increase in sound through out the rpm range. Stock SVT exhaust was audible once you gunned it under a load(on the go) but didnt have much IMHO at idle or even on a rev sitting still. From inside the car anyway. From behind the car, a rev gave a nice sound. With my set up there is a beautiful sound at idle and rev sitting and a bit deeper on the go.

IMO is it deeper in person. From the cab you get some intake noise to so it is a little different.

Most definate, with this setup I can get a head turn or two.

ha, you thought i was done...just to be sure, this setup is significantly louder than stock (+ 50%, +100%)? Because performance gains are so minimal, i am primarily deciding based on sound ( I want something that is respectable to drive everyday, but will roar on command.) Thanks again-

P.S. Do the throttle hang fix, crank your AC and rev it before it warms up too much...and get a video
