Default APS 3.5" pipes & 3" exhaust=POWER!

I think I installed one of the first sets of these, so I figured everybody might like some feedback. It's LOUD. Not straight-pipe, unmuffled loud, but Harley loud. As a matter of fact, I've already set off three car alarms.(I enjoy that)
I try to be especially considerate in my own neighborhood, so I feel a little bad when I fire it up before work in the morning. There's some annoying drone at 2500rpm, but it stops as soon as you rev above that. I'll just have to try and keep my foot in it

Now for the good news: It makes big, unrestricted horsepower. I couldn't get above 525whp with my test-pipes and Stillen dual, and we saw numbers as high as 578 during tuning with the new components.

It will be interesting to see/hear the new system Overzealous1 is manufacturing and do a side by side comparison.

As loud as a Harley....ouch!
Not hearing how your exhaust sound, so I can't really judge but they are obnoxiously loud.

Would hate to drive next to you.

I think my digital cam will record 15 second video clips. How do I post them once I read my owners manual and drive by while my wife records? (God forbid she ever drives the Z!)

I set off another aftermarket car alarm this morning in my office parking lot!

The cans are angled, but the single-walled tips come straight out.
