FINALLY my exhaust sound clip
I've had my exhaust this way for at least 5 months and love it. I always get compliments on it. Best $80 I ever spent
Yes it was warmed up before revving.

It's just the stock exhaust with a deleted cat and deleted mufflers

Kind of, but you'll get that with any louder exhaust. It's only really loud when accelerating at around 3k, cruising it's quiet.

why would it lose hp? if anything, the freer-flowing system will improve gains

If anything I felt a bit of a gain. When they cut off the cat I saw it was literally packed FULL of dirt and crap from 190k miles.

wow, i was expecting something really raspy and nasty, but that actually sounds very civilized. Was surprised that the idle was so quiet. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being worst, 10 best), how loud is it during 60-70 mph cruising?

For $80 and it satisfies you, good deal
Sounds nice. IMO, its free flowing now and i would say you feel a difference in the response. I dont think its a drastic HP increase

And what would you rate the stock exhaust on that scale? Would it scream "pull me over" to the police?
