"sounding like apollo 11" = 100% accurate.

I had a custom resonator and muffler delete done on my z. Its so loud you can hear me from a mile away. I only had it for 30 days before I got a ticket cause that how it is here in Irvine. The cops whine about every little thing but it was fun while it lasted. In selling that exhaust too If anyones interested

i recently put test pipes and went straight pipes and is really loud think about it twice before you do it because alot of car alarms go off and you get alot of attention to your car i personally love it but i hate the attention i get and also wen cops are near me i granny shift so it wont be loud
