No, first aftermarket exhaust on a two seater , yes :tiphat:

Have had multiple aftermarket exhaust in the past, mainly on sedans, and mainly on Lexus vehicles, so I guess quieter cabin?

yes, even the crummy IS300 i had used MUCH more and better sound deadening.

also you wondered about the smell and smoke. just common things you'll have with a new exhaust.

:) enjoy though!

Congrats on the new exhaust, I got this installed about a week ago as well. Love it but I do agree that it dies down near the top where I really want it to scream...between 5-6k rpm though, music to my ears. That's where I'm usually at when I'm having a little bit of fun on daily commutes anyway so it works out and it's not annoying at all on the highway, I don't really notice it after a week.

Definitely agree with you. 5-6k is music to my ears also...when you get towards red line it's like "what happen to my aftermarket exhaust?" :icon14:
I don't like the daily commute sound because I'm not an aggressive driver. I drive normal....still giving it a week of driving before I make my final thoughts on whether I want to keep it or not :eek:
Most of you probably think I'm nuts lol.

I didn't like how the large bolt showed from the clamp holding on the exhaust tips. You can see it in your side shot. I substituted two radiator clamps snugged together, a much lower profile. With the screws on top, you cannot notice they are there.

I believe we're still short of a video :)
