Hey Guys,

K - took a day longer but here is the video. Its not long and I tried my best to capture the sound. (sub-woofers recommended)

Here is also all the notes I pasted on the other thread.

1) There is a bracket underneath the car that will need to have washers added so that the new system doesn't rattle against it. This bracket is in place closer to where the cross over pipes are connected to the rest of the exhaust.

2) The folks at WorldMufflers were amazing! The guy asked me to bring the car back in about a week so he can readjust things one last time since the pipes will move around as it 'sets in'. Make sure to ask if the guy who is installing your will do the same. It will make a difference!

3) The car sounds amazing! Its pretty loud at lower RPMs but it sounds mean! I went to the US Open this weekend and A LOT of people were looking at my car as I drove through the parking lot. I had one guy ask me to roll down the window and ask me what car it was. The lady next to him said "It sounds GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

4) The dual tips fit perfect! They don't stick out at all and look very clean.

5) Make sure to keep your old system.

6) I feel like the system has helped the car gain a bit more 'pick up and go'. Perhaps I'm crazy, but the car feels a bit quicker.

7) The old exhaust is bigger then the new one. If you want to keep the old one, the two mufflers will fit in the trunk but the third muffler will have to go in the back seat so bring a towel.

Here are a few pics.

1) Note that my tips are different then PingGolf. Mine are actually separate while his looks to have the pipes together. Strange.

2) I had the entire system replaced, all the way through the third muffler. Per my notes above, I'm bringing the car back to the shop to have them adjusted once more. Especially from the rattling sound where the bracket hits the new exhaust.

I also took audio of what it sounds like in the cabin, will try to edit and upload later.

Hope this helps! Total cost was 632 installed.

For some reason, the best way to listen to this is with HEADPHONES on. :-(

Please let me know if the sound is terrible, I will do my best to try uploading it again. Help would also be appreciated. Again, I can hear the rumble well with my bose headphones but once I pull them out it doesn't do the video justice.

Flamenquista, I'm so frigging gonna order the Magnaflow exhaust bro. That biatch sounds sweet
After that im done with mods (well for awhile lol)
congrats on you finally getting your Genny hooked up, I know you waited for ever to get it ordered and installed. Now enjoy!

If you decide to record again...

Double check your camcorder too. Make sure there isn't a 'low-cut' filter in the microphone settings turned ON. (Either a switch or in the menu settings.)
Low-Cut eliminates wind noise, but it also eliminates all low end frequencies.

You can also try and set the audio record levels to manual, but I would only recommend this if you have visual meters so you don't over modulate.

....and make sure your finger isn't over the mic! Great vid by the way!!! Pictures are good too.

So how does it sound inside the cabin? Does the girlfriend/wife have issue with it?

Oh, one other question: Does the exhaust fit 100% inplace of the factory exhaust? Or does the new magnaflow exhaust run lower to the ground?

 

[Flamenguista]

My sister has a flip camera so I will re-do the video this weekend. If you have a sound system is sounds much better.

Few answers:

1) Oh, one other question: Does the exhaust fit 100% inplace of the factory exhaust? Or does the new magnaflow exhaust run lower to the ground? YES, it does. It takes a little adjusting but its a plug and play system.

2) So how does it sound inside the cabin? Does the girlfriend/wife have issue with it? It gets loud but a nice loud....a mean sound... and she does complain but its my car so my rules.


@TreeHaus: Thanks for the tips! I will see what I can do this weekend.

Again, guys, the sound with headphones sounds much better. I used my cell phone to record this, big mistake, but I'll fix it.



I'm still looking at Sprint Boost 2, that is likely the last mod I will do for now.

 

[ASHDUMP]

Thanks for the responses Flam. The two mods I really want to do is the sprint booster and exhaust. Just not sure if I'm ready to pull the trigger....
