Drone is noticeable but not too bad. The rear mufflers seem huge to me but idk. Sorry it's taking so long to post a video my buddy has my camera to record part of his AE86 build progress right now. Friday at the latest! I plan on having the midpipe resonator removed and replaced with a pipe for a little more sound as well as allowing the exhaust to be properly aligned. The fitment really isn't the best. The front pipe after the flange sits atop the little crossmember and right now one of the tips sticks out about a 1/4 inch farther than the other because the flange in the front is slightly cocked to one side. If you don't mind having a $40 operation to remove the front resonator and get everything perfect then you'd be fine with this exhaust and still save a ton over a name brand... At my buddy's house tonight there was a brand new mustang GT with 40 series, a 95 lt1 camaro with 10 series mufflers dumped and an 86 Corolla 20valve and the general consensus was that my exhaust sounded the best ha.

And the new mustangs don't sound good with flowmasters anymore. The 89-93 mustangs with flowmaster 40's sound incredible. But that was 20 years ago..

BTW now that the mufflers are broken in it has more of a throaty tone instead of a smooth one. When the exhaust was first installed the sound was very subtle and quiet and now that they're broken in the drone is a little worse but the exhaust sounds much meaner in the upper RPMs.

Had the resonator removed today and had the whole thing lined up properly. Sounds a lot meaner but is SUPER raspy under WOT. Idk if I'll have it modified any further or not... Video coming ASAP

I had this on my GS. It sounded beautiful!! I got tons of looks and compliments on it. Then I drifted my car into a curb and totaled it. Has anyone put the M2 axleback exhaust on a SC400??
