Default Brola true duel opinion on a auto

I had my brola true duel system installed today, in my opinion;

Fit and finish is excellent

Increased power is very hard to determine when cruising at 40 mi. an hour I used to be able to nail it and get a real hard surge now it seems a bit different not sure may be more linear not as sudden of a burst,

but from a standstill with traction off I can lay down about a three-foot double strip before maybe a foot and a half was possible. I know this is very high tech information.

The sound is much deeper like exaggerated base similar to my bose stereo system, and for the automatic it does drone in my opinion at cruising speed but in acceleration sounds very good overall not to loud, idling is basically silent.

I am going to give it a couple of weeks before I decide whether to keep it are not. The only thing that really bothers me at this point is the dronish at cruising I may get used to it, in a six speed it may sound differently this again is for an automatic.
P. S.
The tips do look excellent

Default Update

Well I think it was a bit too critical yesterday


Took the car and drove it quite a bit today I believe the power increases is definitely there, sound is excellent for the most part I didn't get a chance to go on the freeway to see if at consistent 65 the drone is bothersome or not.

Well it didn't take me a few weeks to decide this exhaust is a keeper

I noticed on some installation photos that the tips seem to stick out a bit this is somewhat adjustable my installer pushed them in to just about where the stock once ended.

Default Just installed...

this morning at LaBree...those guys were great.
As for the exhaust...well...it sounds awesome, like everyone else says, great sound when your're on the trottle and not too loud when cruisin. Was able to drive some 65 miles (mostly freeway) from the shop back home and wasn't bothered by the drone. Actually liked hearing the exhaust when cruisin unlike the stock. The car definitely feels like it wants to rev more now...goes through rpm's noticably quicker.

Overall, I think there is pretty good power increase for an exhaust and the sound is definitely worth the price. I'm very happy with the exhaust and definitely don't regret not waiting for concrete dyno numbers cause I don't really care about that...

I just installed my today too. Everything is what I wanted it to be, but the only thing is that the tips are kinda stick out. Can you tell me how your installer pushes the tips back to where the stock tips were? Thank you.

I asked the installer to push the tips in as far as he could, all he really did was leave the tightening bans loose pushed everything forward as far as it would go then tightened them no bending of anything.
The tips are now if you are looking straight down at the back of the bumper half-inch in from the outermost part of the rear bumper. Or just about half-inch out further than stock.

I've had mine for just about a week now, and love it more and more each day. I to feel a good power increase. I love the sound while cruzine around 60mph. First good power increase I've felt yet.
