that noise...
The car in the vid is mine. In the close up shot, that noise when I let off was not actually the exhaust, but something to do with the camera.. Im not sure, it was real windy. Anyway that is the HKS knock off from XO2 racing, with a set of their resonated test pipes. As I stated in another post somewhere, the exhaust is loud, and too loud inside the cabin. there is an ugly rasp from 4000 to 5000 rpms, but only under full throttle. at half throttle its not that bad. I am installing the magnaflow x-pipe muffler in the mid section of the system, and then we can try and get that vid on here too. Sorry, no dyno yet, and not worth dynoing the car just to see what my pipes got me. As far as power gains, not too much different overall, and it feels like the low-end torque suffered a little. the x-pipe should help that. sorry it took so long for the vids... ryan (danisr1) had to hand me a camera, and light a fire under my a$$ to get it done. (he's my wife's boss....)
