It wasn't MUCH louder, but when going down hills, the transmission would kick up a couple gears to like 2,500 RPM and it's drone a bit too much for me. Might be different for the 430, but I just prefer stock Going to save the loud noises for my future fun car.

Haha fair enough, did you even bother making a video of it installed or was it start the car and install stock exhaust?

Start, drive off, turn around, installed stock shortly after, haha.

Drones just a tad bit from 1000rpm to 2000rpm, after 2500 the engine note takes over. Idk if I should keep it subtle or go all out on invidia mid-pipe. While I'm giving myself time to decide, I gotta invest on my rotors and brake pads. I also still have to heat-treat, sand, primer, and paint this INGS lip that I got. Just never had time for it atm.

I think my Manzo was too quiet so my Invidia mid pipe will be here on Friday! I decided on the mid pipe because I can smell exhaust in my car when its running in park and someone has done exhaust repairs prior plus with all the rusty pipe I figured all new would be better.

Exhaust smell is from your new Manzo, its pipes and mufflers are just breaking in from the heat expelling.

Glad you've decided on a mid pipe, I'm as close to clicking the "buy" button. Lol, should be nice as the stock ones have bulky resonators that make the V8 quiet. If you have a gs350, it'll sound more of high-pitched g35. Regardless if it's a 350, 430, or 460... Upgraded exhaust is music to my ears. Haha enjoy and post up video!

Well the smell was present prior to the Manzo install but I just figured it was all in my head but after having the car on the hoist and seeing the past work and some cheap exhaust clamps on the stock pipes I wanted to replace it. Also I have a 430 so Im excited about its sound. I sure do like the g35 sound though wouldnt mind having that!
