I'm more worried about what my wife will think, lol. As long as she doesn't complain about the sound I should be really happy with it. My last set up on my old S2000 was super loud. That was too annoying. I think I will be safe with the RSR as long as I stay away from test pipes.

I will get some pics and vids up when I can.

It's loud but in a deep throaty kind of way. Not raspy at all. You actually notice it more with the top up. When you go topless, the wind noise drowns out the drone.

Thats good to know. I showed my wife your video, she thought it sounded good. Have you noticed a change in mileage, power/torque, at all?

Saturday I finally got the RS*R installed. My first impression was I could not be happier with the sound of this system. It is amazingly deep and clean. The sound starts out deep and then gets an exotic pitch to it the higher the rpms rev. It does not sound raspy or ricey at all.

The camera I used was the only one I could get my hands on at this time. The quality is poor. The camera doesn't do the exhaust justice, but I wanted to give you guys something to check out.

I will get some better clips later. The joy of driving just went up with this exhaust!

The first clip is just a few revs to 3K,4K, and 6500K. The next video is Top Down, Windows up, slow take off to redline, then back to a stop then low rpm shifting. I was driver and camera man. Be nice lol. Sometime I will get a hold of a better quality camera and get some more vids. Hope you guys like!

I know what you mean now. Top up you hear it more, top down the wind takes away little. Its hard not to shift before 3K now

Congrats bro! Sounds awesome, just like mine. HAH! I'm always tempted to take it past 3K rpm just to hear the exotic note. I set off 2 car alarms today. LOL

Lol, only been a day with the exhaust on and already getting comments. I went to sonic with the wife today. When I got up to the window the guy didn't say nice car, but said, "nice exhaust!" I revved it up for him a little. My wife actually liked it because at cruising speed there isn't any drone. It just gets loud when you push on the throttle. It is nice that it isn't one sound throughout the rpm range as well.

Nice work! Sounds great! Glad you didn't have TOO much trouble with the install.

Thanks for the replies. The exhaust is still new, but for my daily driver it has been great. I remember someone saying the last thing they want to hear after a long day of work is a loud exhaust. This thing is fairly loud but not annoying loud. The tone is soooo deep! I don't know about you guys, but for me the car is a stress reliever. A little push on the throttle and a little noise from the engine/exhaust seems to make me feel better. Even without really getting on the car and cruising is a nice reliever.
