I hate it when shops only do vids of the car in park or stopped. It sounds completely different when you're on the move.

I'm surprised anyone else would bother introducing an exhaust that is almost identical to 5 or 6 other offerings. Seriously, is there anything special about this one (lighter, quieter, louder, cheaper, etc.)?

well considering i live in the uae, and all the other types id have to order in from abroad, this is alot cheaper. im paying around 900$ for exhaust and install and i get a 3 year warranty, the only other option available localy to me is TOMS which is close to 2000$ and since everyone says all axle backs are the same, ill go for the cheaper louder one. and like i said before these guys specialize only in exhausts and build loads of exahust for german cars from cayenne turbos to audis etc, saw 2 corvettes in the shop yesteryday. oh and lexus here doesnt carry those hks ones that u guys get in the states

oh one more question, i was curious about the weight of the exhausts, since stock we got aluminized mid grade steel exhausts, and fox and other aftermarket tuners use stainless steel for durability, it adds weight. around 15 percent extra. is that enough to bog down wat ever hp gains we get from these exhausts?

I haven't heard of any aftermarket exhaust being as heavy as stock.
