Yes...

....so just picking it up and picking up the OEM side by side, it is obviously lighter.

The FVD one is T316 Stainless, the OEM one is T304 Stainless. So, the higher quality alloy FVD is polished, shiny, will stay that way, and turns a golden color after heat cycling.

So, now, I have a GOLD colored dual, fat, tips, sticking out further from the bumper, and looking totally ********************in'.

My "Traditional" car guy heart LOVES the SE factory tips, being the wonderful homage to the James Dean 550 Spyder.

BUT, this dual, GOLD.....did I mention they turned GOLD?.....tips look SPECTACULAR!

I'm a happy man.

Sound clips, yes. The trouble with sound clips is getting an accurate recording.

I can say this with authority: It sounds EXACTLY like the 987 version in these two You Tube Video produced by FVD:

This second link includes video from inside the car. And it is also exactly as my 986:

I'm surprised at how my 986 sounds like this 987. Just buy this muffler. It's worth every penny.
