Gabe, did it quiet it down a lot between the SW and Gamma? Inside and outside?

If Shockwave is 10 and Stock(all parts not just exhaust) is 1 then I'd say it went down to a 4.5. Hope that is somewhat helpful. It's a night and day difference between the Shockwave and Gamma.

I am actually surprise by that. The videos still make the exhaust sound loud. But videos are horrible at giving you the idea of a exhaust sound. You can look at my vids and say " Oh thats not that loud..." lol. I love mine, its quiet as stock cruising the highway, and when getting up to speed its mean and loud. I can even be at 45 mph and be in 4th or 5th and barley notice the exhaust since its only really loud between 3k-5k.

Yeah are always hard to gauge exhaust sound. Just an FYI though, the video is revving the car almost to redline and it was very close to the exhaust as you can see. Also using my 6 years old camera to take vids is for sure not the best option.

I was surprised as to how well the straight honeycomb muffler from MD worked. I was always under the impression that only chambered muffler can significantly bring noise down but I was wrong.

You know what though, I wonder if the HR and DE sounds any different from one another.

Couple months ago Bassani was the $hit! Everybody wanted one, now that motordyne came out w/ theirs everyone wants that and bassani is old news LOL. Ill be the first to tell you that bassani has horrible welds, horrible looks, and horrible design. But imo the sound is just unbeatable. Everyday i want to trade it in for those 3 reasons alone but end up falling in love again after i hear it. I personally prefer the sound of the bassani over the motordyne, but if those 3 reasons bother u then go with motordyne(which im pretty sure has all that covered)

BTW bassani with testpipes will be LOUD!!! I set off car alarms in parking decks even when im just cruising lol. NOw i have longtube headers and its even louder but raspier

^ You can add that the Motordyne does not produce rasp with test pipes or high flow cats.

hahahha REALLY? Is that resonated or non resonated? I had resonated tp before and it sounded so much better, little to no rasp. NOw i have longtubes(non resonated) and the rasp is driving me nuts sometimes. Also is the true dual motordyne lighter than stock? I know the bassani is heavy as crap.

Ill have a vid clip of my setup soon,...maybe this weekend

^^ I have no rasp with my Gamma and HFC's.

Tony's products are the best! Best welds, best sound, best everything

im sure with hfc u dont get rasp, im pretty sure with hfc u wont get rasp with the bassani either. Like i said i had little to no rasp with resonated TP. But when i went with megan longtube headers rasp appeared. If i switch exhaust im not taking these longtubes out, lol PITA! So i want to get something that wont have rasp with non resonated. Exhaust im looking at are

Motordyne (the one with the titanium canisters/tips)
ARK True Dual
HKS(primarily for looks, dont like the sound plus im sure itll be rasp heaven with my setup)

TheOtherRob

The HKS will be raspy as hell.

350z spd I believe is his screen name has vids of his shockwave dual with res test pipes. No rasp.

Yea I have no rasp with the resonated tps. I don't know the exact weight of the Motordyne exhaust but IMO I think it feels lighter then stock.

The long tube headers is where the resonated XYZ will help the most.

Long tube headers are rasp monsters.

i don't know if this helps the OP or not, but i'm pretty sure i'm getting rid of my bassani for the motordyne.

the bassani is way too raspy with the unresonated test pipes, where the motordyne has hardly any.

the one vid that was posted of the red HR with tps and bassanni made me fall for that exhaust. And some of u r saying that Shockwave dont have rasp i wanted to go dual shockwave after the one vid was posted with tps however after my 1st success with my custom single im gonna have a great CHEAPER success with my dual when i start fabbing it

Z-Dub

yeah, but you don't hear the rasp in that video with the bassani. in reality, you don't hear a lot of it from the outside of the car, but inside, it sounds awful from 2k to 3.5k. my friend got the shockwave put on yesterday, and there is very little rasp, especially compared to the bassani. plus, that exhaust is about twice as loud and almost as deep at low rpms.

edit: my friend is also running AAM test pipes.

Z-Dub

here's a comparison between the bassani (my z) and the motordyne (nateclipse's z). both are videos are at the same place. this should give everyone an idea.

I just put on my dual shockwave ti today and I love it. It is a very loud exhaust but not obnoxiously loud. If I'm cruising and holding it around 2K rpm it does drone with the windows up. My typical cruising speeds are 45-50 (in 5th) and 60-70 (6th) and there's hardly any drone at these speeds. Now flooring it, this exhaust screams, but it sounds mature, it doesn't have that buzz that some other exhausts get.

I've got a resonator btw the xyz pipe and the center section and the straight pipes from the axle back. I'm also running stock cats and headers.

long story short - it looks amazing, it sounds sick.... Motordyne FTW
