you installed it brand new? give it a few hundred miles and let it break in. The sound may change at that point and then judge whether its enough for you or not

I would add an intake and mid pipe, in that order and see if it gets loud enough for you. Headers are a bit pricey, difficult to install, and illegal in CA.

I'd agree, give it a few heat cycles to "break-in".

I've always thought the exhaust was a full cat back but if it's an axleback, throw in an Invidia midpipe and it's over. Should be A LOT louder

OP, if you can get us a video that would be great. At that price, i am contemplating selling my f sport exhaust and getting the meistershaft.

Btw is there only a valve in the right muffler? I dont see one in the left

For LOUDDDDDDDDNESS, go with Invidia midpipe. It is too loud and raspy for my taste though. I'm very happy with F Sport axle back.

The exhaust actually becomes more quiet but it sounds better (the low growl) after break in. At least in my case for the F Sport lol.
