wasn't a lot of sound clips with good mics so i grabbed my condenser mic and recorded this yesterday at the shop. i think i may still have a tiny, tiny exhaust leak on the passenger side that i need to fix.

Does sound good with those test pipes Dom!

TerribleONE · 03-27-2012, 10:58 AM

sounds good!

Give Tony a call he will really be able to help you make your decision.

18" louder than stock, but not too loud with stock cats
12" will be a little louder and make you never want to roll your windows up again..
no resonator will be the loudest option for those NOT looking for a subtle exhaust...

Hope this helps

If you can wait till Fri/Sat I should have my non-res CBE installed and could take a video.

The problem with your request isn't the availability of videos, it's the availability of the videos from similar equipment (cameras) and similar tests (revs, drive-by, etc). Every camera is going to pic up the sound of the exhaust a little different. Unfortunately the only way to get a really good comparison would be to have all three setups in front of you in person.

mrcoolguyface · 03-27-2012, 02:26 PM

Non Res CBE Non Res Test Pipes...

Idle with Revs, and a quick Drive by vid... Surprisingly enough, with the volume up a bit, if playing through something with nice speakers the idle with revs video is extremely close to real life. Check them out!

So, I installed my system a few months ago, and I have some minor issues.
Let me prefice this by saying I absolutely LOVE the look, and sound of the system I chose. HOWEVER, I am experiencing a lot of secondary noise that literally makes the car sound like garbage.

Under moderate/heavy acceleration I am getting the common rattle in the rear area that sounds like its coming from the spare tire section ( which is annoying but not bad by itself). I am also now experiencing a quick more noticable and loud rattle in between 3000 and 3500 RPM's that almost sounds like a BB in a coke can vigorously shaking, which sounds like it's coming from right under where the headers would be. Also the all too infmaous VQ Hiss, for me, now isnt just on decel, but also heavy accel from 3 - 6000 RPM's ( ??Exhaust Leak?? ).

All things considered, as much as it kills me, I am thinking about removing the system and going back to stock. Before I do so, I think I may take it to a shop to have it looked at to see if something wasn't done correctly on install. All of these secondary noises are seriously driving me insane! Anyone have any ideas here? Or similar occurences?

Hiss under decel. - will be there anytime you remove the cats
Hiss under accel. - means an improper install or a leak
The car is know for rattles, and mine has a rattle in the hatch while stock.
Rattle near the header area may mean a bolt was not torqued down properly
