I said I'd post when I got some clips.

Startup and a couple revs from outside the car:

Idle from outside the car:

3/4 throttle accel, top end of 2nd and a little in 3rd inside the car:

Don't ask about the shift, merging onto a highway can sometimes be tricky...

I think that was with the OBX Catback and Header from SSAutochrome right? Djnevamind is reworking the group buy on these.

I had a cat-back installed after the 2nd cat (CA emissions)... 2.5" pipe, no resonator, and a Flo-Pro muffler (model FP212R), done at a local exhaust shop.

Yeah I was standing right at the back of the car. I posted the clips hoping folks could hear that you can have a nice exhaust note and get some performance gains without having to be super loud or spending $500-600.

For performance gains, I'd guess maybe 3-4 HP in the mid and high end?

I can definately say I got a nice little power gain around 4000 RPM and highway speed acceleration is improved (like speeding up from 60-70).

Exhaust and CAI together I spent $300 and got a noticable and enjoyable power gain. Much improvement on the car.

i think it sounds dope dude, nice job. i wish i could record mine but it may be too loud for some people. 3" all the way with no cat, vibrates my mirror. i set off car alarms, much fun..hehe

but i love the tone you got, very aggresive.

aggressive without being annoying to either the people in the car or those around it... perfect in that respect.
