But your noise isn't something wrong, that's just the nature of gopro's with our exhaust... Not sure if any other cam would have better results if placed in similar locations. But if you're sure about taking it, try out another HD cam and let me know what you think.

I'm looking into getting a 2nd gopro so I can film more than 1 angle per run.
that's weird i never noticed it before on your vids but i see what you mean now. the angle from the dummy foglight was awesome but looks like anything near the rear of the car is gonna have shitty audio. i might hang on to it for a couple weeks and get some footage then return it, i gotta build up the turbo fund

My SS non-res is on and oh man is this thing ridiculous. 3k rpms is the g-spot! Its so bassy and mean, makes the Z sound like a muscle car and I can definitely feel some more mid and high-range power.

Tony - beautiful product, thanks!

I'll post some pics and a vid in a day or so.

I am pleased to hear that you are happy with it. The non resonated is much more aggressive than the resonated options, especially the 18". This is why we have many options, so we can appeal to as many people as possible.

Once the exhaust breaks in it will quiet down about 10%. As you put some miles on it you will also feel more of the performance increase.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me directly...

Thank you, Tony

im not sure if the size of the resonators change the hissing sound but i have no resonators and love the hiss. just another addition to how mean this exhaust sounds.

I haven't heard any hiss yet, it just sounds F$#king gnarly and mean and when you get back fire/exhaust gargle when letting off its beautiful!

Today it felt more powerful too

No, the hissing comes from the X pipe I believe, Tony correct me if I'm wrong?? It's the backpressure evening out.

Let's you know there's power there. Plus it almost sounds like a BOV venting. Makes the boosted guys do a doubletake. To me it sounds like a pissed off cobra ready to strike.

If you do it yourself, which is certainly possible... Free, at tony's shop, it can be installed as well at a discount. Or most shops will charge you 1-2 hours for labor, whatever their rate is.

That gargle is the 'FI Hiss' they're referring to.

^ Phone wasn't liking the lighting, but here are the mufflers


^ ...and the beautiful piping


^ mmmm


^ muff anyone?


^ baby gurl cooling off in the shade

**For those of you who've installed this exhaust, did you pick up a muffler section and hold it as if it were a flamer-thrower? Or was that just me

The ONLY downside to non-res is that when you're crusing on the highway at about 75-80, any moderate increase in throttle (to accelerate or climb) is noticeable and creates drone. But if you're maintaining speed and are on flat ground it's not really noticeable.

If you were to get resonated I'd say get the 12 for this system really sounds great when loud. Even though I just installed it, I've already had 4 glorious hours of drive time with it.

Non-res is really something special

Tony - I have called your office and left a message as you are out of town. I am from Australia - interested in getting the 18" resonated system.

I have GT Haus and I feel its too loud for me. Its a good system but not for me.
