Default Modded exhaust for sound

This wasn't exactly free. It cost me $2. So I basically created a exhaust leak where the axle back section connects to the mid pipe. I placed washers between the 2 sections where they bolt up. Majority of the exhaust still passes through the factory mufflers. I created the video and edited it with my iPad so mind the sound quality. It's not quit as harsh in person. At cruising speed it's still pretty quiet. Something temporary until some more play money comes in for a Joe Z setup.

sounds pretty decent considering you just played with it. Sounds deeper than than the Joe Z set up I think

I got to share this in person with a few people who went to BOS 8. I'm expecting to see at least one more person to do it too.
