Default New soho motorsports 3" dual exhaust

I picked up this exhaust today. Looks pretty bad a$$! I got their testpipes on back. Has great fitment, looks great, and has a super aggressive sound to it. Fitment was spot on.

First impressions, this thing is loud! Comparing this to my dc short headers, tomei test pipes, and full tomei out. This exhaust has a way different sound but just as loud. Has a very nice deep throaty sound. Wot to redline the tone stays the sound. Very distinct. The welds look very good. Fitment and finish is great.

Exhaust has zero rasp at any rpm. But does have a good bit of drone at 2500 rpms and below. Higher you rev, better it sounds. Exhaust is very loud. You can't manipulate the pedal to make the car quiet down. Not happening unless you let the car go to neutral and coast. This exhaust will make you heard. Wife says its just as loud as my tomei but sounds way better. Her opinions. I agree but think it may be louder.

Fitment of everything was spot on. Litterally took no time to install. Installed everything loose then went back and tightened everything. Had zero issues with fitting around the Hotchkis sway bars and diff. My rear TS diffuser was trimmed on drivers side already for my tomei, but the passenger side went up with out issue. You might need to trim the drivers side or you might not. It's close.

Now onto some pics. I will take some better and more pics when I put the car up in the air. This exhaust isn't into production yet and I was told am the second to get this made and the first to "daily" it. Can't give out pricing, but I did get a very great deal.

I would like to see a picture from the rear. Those exhaust tips look like monsters.

Edit: Sounds and look pretty good after seeing the video. Doesn't really seem like it is TOO loud. Like it definitely seems loud, but doesn't seem like the loudest. Definitely might be the loudest setup without any rasp

My phone does zero justice for how it sounds. It sounds great and trust me when I say it's loud lol. I will take more pics tomorrow of fitment and the rear end. The tips are 4".

Looks similar to my DNX cutback, except yours is a true dual and looks like it was manufactured much nicer. Both have the same "coffee can" looking mufflers with 4" tips

Really only issue I have is when im cruising 2500rpms and below. But doesn't bother me enough to really complain or not like it.

Mine is terrible on the highway (anywhere between 2500-2900). It didn't bother me at first. Only bothers me on certain days. But still worth it.
Anyway nice looking exhaust. Do you know what they intend to make the retail price on these?

I was told a ball park, but don't really want to say... Don't want to step on anyone's toes. But I will say I got a great deal for being one of the first to get it. I had more money into my used tomei setup..

That thing sounds pretty nasty. I like it. I had the tomei for a while, but I just got over the drone I had at highway speeds even with a motordyne xyz and resonator it was really loud while crusing. I like the tone this system has though!

Yes, this exhaust sounds great! I did find that if I'm not over 2500 rpms, I will be in one Gear lower due to the drone. Maybe I just need to get used to it. My tomei didn't have much if any drone. I don't think this exhaust is quite as loud as the tomei at redline but it gets close. It's just a whole different sound compared to the single that I'm used to. I think it's mean as hell and I can't wait to get some flyby vids of this thing.

Don't have any vids yet but I snapped a couple pics since I've been getting request about fitment. I will say this exhaust went up super easy. Fits, sounds, and looks great! I'm bout to take this on a 7 hour drive to dynosty tonight. Took my wife on a drive last night for the first time and she says its def louder than my tomei/test pipes/headers combo. But the
Sound is pretty good. Just sucks at 2500 and below with the drone.

Definitely looks like it would be loud, lol. It looks good and of quality, although I'm not a fan of the tips. Any plans on a better video?

I feel the opposite. I actually really like the tips. They almost have an unfinished look to them, which does not make them look as clean. But I like that they look really aggressive with that "unfinished" look
