Just installed it yesterday.. wow.. I can tell I've got a v8 now! It makes driving feel like a different car just from the added sound. I was worried that the toned down street version exhaust might be quiet and not worth the $$.. It is not quiet! I couldn't imagine how loud the race exhaust is. My ISF is truly a head turner now.
I havent heard an exhaust on any other ISF so I can't really compare it. It is definitely much louder than an ISF with only headers (I've heard that). I'd compare it to my buddy's S5 v8 with AWE catback, nice throaty v8.
I got the burnt titanium tips. They do look pretty cool, but dont stand out as much as I anticipated. Thats probably a good thing though in the long run, I could see getting sick of that look. I will post pics when I get a chance.
From my professional opinion I'd say it added about 83hp (My profession is real estate..
). I'm not sure if I can actually feel anything because the sounds play mind games with me. I hope I got some HP outa it.

Theres drone in 7th and 8th gear at 60mph, at 80mph the drone is only in 8th gear. Its the area between 1.5-2k rpm that makes it drone. If you drop it down to 6th gear, theres no drone.
If you're in IL come see it in person, I am up by the woodfield area. I'll post some pics. Not sure what I'd use to make a video, I dont think my phone video would do it justice.
Yes, we just bent the plastic tabs back and that worked without cutting them off. It really sounds bad *** with a mean rumble. Real deep sound.
