Default F-sport exhaust Question

Look everywhere and don't seem to find the answer to my question. So wondering if someone can help me out. Does anyone know if there is a sound difference on the F-sport gen1 vs the gen2? I have the gen1 without the F-sport label on the tip.

Dont quote me on this but i heard the 1st one is louder because the 2nd gen really has only 1 working exit and the opposite muffler doesnt really work? Man idk lol

I've had both and the 2nd Gen is way louder and nicer sounding.

Yes, there is a difference. The 2nd gen F-Sport exhaust is louder because it only has 1 actual muffler. The other side is straight pipe through a hollow shell that resembles a muffler. The 1st gen exhaust has two functional mufflers, therefore it's quieter.
