Default OMG AWD Full Invidia catback exhaust -Resonators

So I just got my car back from West Bend Dyno Tune they cut out the resonators on my Invidia Mid pipe section and put straight pipes in there and welded it up. OMG the sound is crazy! I love it! The car is still mild sounding until about 3k rpm then it just gets insane! The cabin noise is NOT bad at all, without drone! Almost all the noise goes out the rear. Damn I need someone to drive my car so I can gawk at it from 3rd person view FYI not a cold start up and more videos to come!

Thanks!

You need to do it outside to get a better result of the sound. The exhaust sounds good though, def need a drive-by.

Yeah the Meisterschaft sounds loud as hell as well. I'm going to get some various driveby videos and stuff today here in a little bit, and will post them on tonight. Im curious as to how much different the Meisterschaft full catback would sound to the Invidia full catback - the resonators. I paid $1100 for my complete setup as compared to the Meisterschaft $1700 axle back system, then throw on a Meisterschaft mid pipe for $1500 your at $2700 now compared to $1100 for the Invidia setup.

FYI im getting my car put on a AWD dyno tomorrow, and will have video! I can't wait, it will sound mean as hell! What kind of HP do you think this will put down to the wheels? My guess is around 280 Wheel HP and 256 ft lbs of torque.

Holy crap I had to edit my posting because when I was pricing out the Meisterschaft 2 months ago the axle back system was $1700 now I just checked out their website, and it's saying $2500!!! Good god thats a lot of money for two mufflers. So i guess compare that $3700 exhaust system to $1100. I wondering if the exhaust note and build quality will be worth the extra $2600!!! to you. Ouch!

We handle Meisterschaft exhaust systems all the time and their build quality is top notch. Your current set-up sounds good right now though do a drive-by vid!

I added 3 videos to my first post, rev, take off/flyby and flyby. As you might know speakers don't do justice on this exhaust. I'm super happy with the exhaust, and it just sounds plain sick. No drone in the cabin, and loud as **** when I get on it. If I only give it half throttle or less, it sounds almost stock, which is nice.
