Used to have it...not too loud in my book...sold it to another CL member...great looking exhaust! Is this the one you have?:



Wifey thought ANY aftermarket exhaust is TOO loud...so I had to switch back, but it was not too loud and only hit at about 2K RPM...but sounded great at WOT. Congrats on the purchase!

i got mine's on october
when i first got it, i was hoping that it wont drone inside the car...but it turns out drone pretty bad(to me it is)
but it was fun to install it, when me and my friends took off the stock exaust we started the car and rev it (yummy!!) sounds like a truck!! and then a truck passed by, only mine's was lot smoother . after we installed it, revved it...!! sound really nice......but to drive around with it...i really hate it
anyone know how to fix that drone noise?!!!
also anyone has problem with the bar rattle underneath?? the one that the exaust is sitting on it...
BUT !!!!! ITS A GOOD CHOICE

i dont have the rattle problem but the guy who sold me suggested some silencer idea where you modify the tip a little to be able to fit the screw for the silencer. i dont remember exactly what he said cause it didnt really matter to me anyway, i like it like it is now.

sorry for the delay on the video, im having problems compressing it so i can send it through email. If you have AIM just IM me and you'll get it alot faster so i wont have to compress anything.

You asked about this before... What bar is it hitting? Do you have any aftermarket [i.e.- TOM's] rear bracing? It should not hit any stock bracing. Bring the car over to Exact in Milpitas and have them put it on the lift -- let John see if there's anything to adjust.

gs400 kid,
that bar ratled nasty on my car too. i jsut removed it and nothing to rattle anymore!!! lol

but hey i got some pics finally, they are in my galley so i am gonna try to post a link to the gallery, why i hadthe car on a lift i figured i would go ahead and paint all the caliper white and the rotors an aluminum silver color, i think it look pretty good what you guys think?
