Fabspeed Exhaust -- Too Loud?

[jaykay]

hmmm...I didnt get one because I thought they were too muted for my tastes but I only heard it on the outside of the car.

Bottle up all of your drone and send it to me !!! The louder and more aggressive the sound is, the better. In fact, as of late, I've grown bored of my aftermarket exhaust, which incidentally, has a very race oriented sound, and I'm thinking of doing something drastic like swapping it out for a full on race exhaust . Then I'll back up to the front door of the nearest vegan cafe and let it rip !

if you're serious, I may interested in your used set.

It won't be cheap . It's a custom one off cat back from 9ff - complete with bypass pipes. It produces great sound that's not too aggressive .

Nothing good in life ever is. Kind of like cheap wine, if that's all you know it's not so bad. But get some good stuff and "How did we drink this swill"

i have been thinking about the fabspeed exhaust (cat back) but i like the price of the maxspeed exhaust better. after reading all the posts on exhaust i am left feeling very confused. Drone , resonance , decreased power , too loud, not loud enough at this point i'm like WTF ! I just want the car to sound slightly more aggressive it's just to muted with the factory silencer .
i could do without check engine lights , obsessive drone , loss of power and not need a loan to purchase.

Here's an exhaust worth considering @ $270.00 . Its stainless steel, appears to have good welds, appropriate all around pipe diameters, and nice design. It's probably the exact same catback that's being sold under a number of different names with prices ranging from $270 to $500 . At that price , if for some reason you don't like it, you can turn it into a bird feeder .

I've had this on my car for 3+ years. I was Che's (Deluboz) test user when he was the first to import them.

Between 2-3k rpm, the cabin resonance can be deafening, especially with the top up in stop and go traffic.

Now with the top down it sounds glorious and with a helmet on and the top up and windows down at the track it really helps to hear when you should shift instead of looking down. That's why I haven't removed it. That and the fact I don't have cash to put on anything different right now.
