Default 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.

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?
