Default F-sport Exhaust Question

I was wondering if you guys think the more mileage on the f-sport exhaust changes the tone of it?
Could be a dumb question, but i listen to some of the ones on youtube, and i feel like their f-sport exhausts sound more.."throaty."

Granted i dont know how many miles are on their exhausts, but i know mine is the one without the badge and probably has alot of miles on it and it just doesnt sound.."throaty." Sounds more like...uhh a honda? I dont know, mayb its in my head, and i havent really heard it from outside, just from inside the cabin.

Opinions??

The f sport sounds like a hinds to me, I would assume it gets a little different tone/volume after a thousand miles or something like most exhausts though. And if it's a 250 it will obviously sound different than a 350 and videos aren't good to judge sound because so many cameras don't pick up the sound the same

i had a chance to drive loaner 250 with F-sports exhaust.

The sound was good from outside but inside wasn't. Somehow the sound from driver's seat was a lot louder than passenger seat....it was really weird between 2200rpm to 3000rpm....it was like "BBBOOOOOOOOO" and than sound was gone until 5000rpm..

Maybe the loaner has cat-delete? or does it suppose to sound like that?

i know exactly the sound you are describing, however, it's not too unbearable. Like you said, once you go about 4k rpm, that mini drone goes away. To respond to the OP, i think the fsport exhaust sounds fine..i don't hear any honda type sounds. The videos on youtube are definitely not the ideal place to go when trying to determine the tone of an exhaust. There are many variables that can change the sound such as camera quality, little mods, or a 250/350.

Hello to all. New here...It's hard to say, but In my opinion I'd say the 350 (larger engine, and more power than the 250) would sound better, especially with aftermarket parts...my 2 cents
