Exhaust mods = crying babies :)

While I didn't think my exhaust setup (Crios drill mod + fabspeed secondary bypass pipes) was THAT loud, I got chastised by Mrs. SD_Boxster today for making a little kid in a stroller cry. I goosed the throttle a little when I started up the Box after breakfast out and apparently things were louder than I thought.

Personally, the kid looked a little old to be in a stroller, and thus is probably a wuss and will wind up driving a '99 Intrepid...

If anyone cares to hear, this is what my exhaust sounds like. Be sure to listen on stereo speakers if possible - no bass on laptop speakers.

LOL, Way to justify your mod, by calling a little kid a wuss!!
My line of thinking would be, "I probably just saved the kids life, as now they can hear me backing up".

Just listened to the vid. Sounds good to me. Not too loud but lets everyone know you are there!!

Sounded like a little of "Kings of Leon" playing in the background too.

Nice exhaust sound!!

Don't feel bad...one time, when I was still living in NYC, and was starting up my car in my parking garage, a lady with her young daughter was walking right behind my car, and when I gave it a little rev prior to pulling away, the daughter fell down cause she was scared. Doh! Felt bad, as I didn't think my Dansk exhaust was that loud either.

Are you sure it isn't rotted out exhaust pipes?
