So are you saying that it's actually quieter when cruising at 1,XXX rpm's? I love a loud car, but then I love my music too. Power + high rpm WOT sound + quiet cuise = time to bust out my wallet (maybe [img]/images/graemlins/smiles[/img]). Care to elaborate any further? [img]/images/graemlins/dude2[/img]
Yep, the 5th. and 6th. gear cruising speeds...65-75 mph, are quieter than before. I had heard this before, and it is true. Better throttle response too. I enjoy the music too. I really thought the combo would be much louder than it is. It is perfect for me. I could always remove the cats if I want it any louder. But under WOT, it sounds awesome! Nice top end SOP improvement also. I am sorry I didn't do it earlier. From 3K rpms to redline, it sounds awesome...like a funny car...I would have to say that in a topless RT10...the exhaust tone would be a bit more louder. But in the coupe with the windows down, it sounds great.:thumb:
