Haha... HFCs will definitely make the car sound a little louder, but I don't regret the benefits. Power feels like it kicks in 500rpm sooner, and it doesn't end there. Throttle response felt a bit sluggish at first after installing the exhaust and HFC. You'll even hear popping noises coming out of the exhaust, but it diminishes after a few weeks. At idle, the car sounds "lopey" as if it is off timing... but that's where the old school feeling comes back :-)

Think it works for a daily driver?

Thanks for the Video there DIGI' definately appreciated to get another view/opinion of this setup. Was good to hear the before/after bit as well thats for sure.

You two are cracking me up each day LOL. If you need a laugh, just find teh closest thread your in and your set for some humor:bowrofl:

Hey, I have an Australian cattle dog!

For daily driving, the sound is awesome! At cruising speeds and light throttle you don't hear it much, but it does drone a bit on the highway. So if you find yourself applying light throttle to maintain 60-70 MPH while going uphill, you'll start to hear the drone. It takes a bit of getting used to. What I find strange is that sometimes it is really loud, and other times it is not that bad at all... just wonder if it has to do with the environment. For example, the exhaust isn't as loud on the way to lunch. On the way back from lunch, it can get pretty loud (interior-wise). Overall, if you rev past 3k (even full throttle), the sound is sick and is nowhere near as loud when hovering around 2-3k.

On cold starts, it is pretty loud and deep. At a certain resonant frequency, the garage door starts to vibrate. My car is parked outside the office, and everyone can hear it on cold start. The same goes for the drone as it can slightly vibrate some interior parts.

It sounds bad, but it's not that bad at all. My car is a daily driver, and I'm pretty conservative. I don't regret it and will never go back to stock. Remember, I have the HFC and 12" resonators. Once I get the 18" resonated X-pipes, I'll update the video.

Thanks! :tup: With a good set of PC speakers (i.e., with a sub), one can simulate what the exhaust sounds like in person!

Yeah i stream through the PS3 via my HT Room:tup:. It really gives a much better idea of what to expect instead of crappy little Laptop Speakers and even normal Desktop speakers.

It dosnt do it justice really and in some cases makes it sound pretty bad with a higher pitch tahn it actually probably has. Again thanks for your extra little write up there mate.

twenty two daysssss!

man that sounds great! I can't wait!

here are dyno charts !

Hope you dont mind B1nks :tup:

wow what a difference...

awesome sound reference too, thanks :tup:

FAST INTENTIONS = perfect combination of SHOW & POWER :)

B1nks, I apologize but in this huge thread I have forgotten, are you running ehxuast only are do you also have HFC or test pipes? Straight x-pipe or resonated?

I'd be interested in hearing how loud the 2-3k rpm drone really is. IMHO, this is the WORST range to have drone as you're sitting in this range while on the highway. If it's minor though, perhaps it's a non-issue. I'd ideally have no drone or drone in some range I rarely use like >6k rpm.
