Default Mean Sounding Exhaust

UPDATE:
so i ended up removing this off my car since it got too loud for daily driving, i didnt have drone and it was quiet on the highway but accelerating and such was annoying at times, it sounded amazing when you get on it though and if it is anything i have learned from this experience, its that i want an exhaust that is quiet down low(louder than stock but not too loud) and loud in the Mid and Top when i start stepping on it so people know to GTFO

one thing i do miss about this mod though is that everyone around me left me alone, and all the usual cars that would try to street race me(i say try because i would never do such a thing) stopped but now that it is quiet again, im getting the usuals revving at me, MS3s, WRXs, Evos, 350z/G35s, ect.

Idk if this is the right forum to post this in or not, mod please move it if it isnt

here is my car

sounds like **** since my phone's mic isnt the best but in person it is super loud(louder than i though the washer mod would have made it)

let me know what you guys think

so you're telling me you would spend $200+ on an axle back than spend another $1k on a full exhaust

you're not going to use the axleback after you get the full exhaust(well maybe but why would you) and you will never be able to get all of the money you spent on it back, so why bother spending it in the first place when you can save the money for the full exhaust, and get the sound you want now

EDIT
if you guys are going to troll, GTFO
dont like my mods, well tough sh!t, its my car, ill do what i want to it

neither do I, right now I'm saving for a few different mods, one of which is going to be a full exhaust system, I just want a bit more sound now without spending too much money

Um... Alright... I think $300-400 axle backs are bull. $2 on washers, way better than $300. If I had thought about the washer mod, I would've done it before leaving the dealership and I would've left the car like that until I found my exhaust.
So... I think it's 100% acceptable

I do agree, though, $400 axle backs, especially the "short tails" are absurd.

Whoa! Easy, no one said they didn't like your mods, that's the good thing about modding your car...your car and your mods so you do what you want. But people can and will be subjective on a forum, I'm sure you understand this.

the edit wasnt really directed at you specifically but to anyone else who is reading the thread, sorry i should have specified

i do understand the subjectivity though, i really dislike it(i guess because i have an open mind on most things) but i do realise it exists and there is nothing i can really do to change it

again sorry if it seemed like i snapped at you, the edit was again wasn't directed at you specifically

No probs, I'll be honest and say I tried the washer mod, the whole 'blowing exhaust thing' just wasn't for me. I should have explained that in my original post, my failure.

It's well documented that our 370's are just too quiet, but when you change the exhaust you're also buying into a nice bit of bling, and I don't think there's a really bad system out there.

Hey different strokes for different folks. I'm there with ya as far as buying into exhaust systems, but for me, I can't justify getting an axle back like AAM's Short Tails when I am planning on buying a full exhaust.

I feel the washer mod is one of those love it or hate it mods(kind of like drop in filters and post maf tubes vs G3s)
