My different exhaust setups with vids
So there has been many many threads concerning exhaust sounds, drone, volume, etc... I have had the opportunity to test out many different setups and I believe I have finally past the finish line. Here are videos from start to finish on my journey:
Stock Exhaust:
Deleted 2nd Cats only:
Deleted 2nd Cats and Mufflers:
PPE Headers with deleted 2nd cats and mufflers:
PPE Headers with deleted 2nd cats (stock mufflers back on the car):
See video 2...sounds identical to deleted 2nd cats only. I didn't even video it as it pretty much sounds stock.
PPE Headers with PTS Joe Z Exhaust (sorry my little girl got excited ):
I really like the Joe Z Exhaust and it is VERY loud in conjunction with the headers. It does drone about the same amount as the deleted 2nd cats and mufflers mod. It's livable, but I can definitely see why people would go with the Borla first (and I haven't heard it). I believe the volume is louder now than the deleted mod, but the drone is about the same. It will rattle the interior. I'm a happy camper with this setup and must say the quality of the Joe Z is an A+! Outstanding craftsmanship. In conclusion, the car sounds like a beast and will without a doubt turn heads, but it's not obnoxious like the headers with basically straight pipes. I hope this comparison helps some of you out!
