At the moment I still prefer a stealth sound.
Right now the car is near stock at normal cruising. Only at WOT does it turn Jekyl & Hyde !
Sound like the x-pipe can actually reduce the sound. So if I just replace my center resonator and keep the stock twin resonators, I might be able to keep the same volume as now, but with some more power gain from the x-pipe.

Thanks Mike, we missed you on CL. I was suffering from 1SICKLEX feedback deprivation.

Hameed the exhaut came out beautiful.. The first vid really showed the sound of the exhaust and the driveby was better in the first vid.. Almost sounded like boost... Congrats on the b-day gift to yourself... Mine was the 16th and i ordered some stuff as well...

Thanks! I just love it!
The only thing I don't like is the drone if you accelerate slowly instead of aggressively from a stop - the drone is kinda annoying. The upside to that? Don't accelerate slowly! The downside? Have to buy gas more often.
However once you hit cruising speeds and the tranny shifts into 5th, the droning completely dissappears.
I need to find a deserted tunnel and tape a longer sequence of the sound as it shifts gears, it sound justs amazing when it does that!

OMG Hameed! Just got your PM. Don't know how I missed this post.
The sound is incredible. I would do it in a New York second if I wasn't worried about attracting the attention of the po-leece...Makes me wonder what it would sound like with an SRT intake.
Congrats!
You should add the videos to our sticky on exhaust sounds - at the top of this forum - with a short note summarizing the mods.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the Police - it is ONLY loud on WOT. I am sure it would sound awesome with your SRT intake. Go for it!
I actually did add it to that sticky, but forgot to add in a summary of the mod itself. Did that now.

Hameed, just saw this post and I'm at work so I can't watch the vids. Your exhaust certainly looks fantastic. Can't wait to get home and hear how it sounds.

I got the CarsonTuned STB installed a couple of weeks ago (look at those amazingly smooth welds! ):
And a sneak peek at what's coming next - can you guess what's the next mod?

hey hameed,
i was wondeing what kinda 0-60 - 1/4 mile difference the Supra TT 3.76 gear Torsen type LSD made? also pricing of it and install price. i was thinkning about getting the torque converter but if the 3.76 gear makes a big enough difference then im going to go with that.
thanks,
wade

The main benefit of this mod is that it makes the car much more responsive throughout the rev range because it is now revving at about 300 rpm higher than stock. Ofcourse the other benefit is the LSD.
also pricing of it and install price.

I first did the diff and then the TC, but that was because I got a used diff for about half the price of a brand new one and jumped on it.
