It sounds a little too tunerish unfortunatly. But not too bad. It still sounds somewhat exotic. If I could go back I'd still buy it.

maybe it will growl a bit more with cat deletes....
would it be too much to ask for a sound byte of your system?

Here's a YouTube bit of my car on the Dyno. Turn up the volume and you'll get a good idea about the sound. The car here has headers, bypass pipes, and the Borla muffler.

That dyno run sounded good j.fro….mine is a lot louder! OBX Headers, Cat Deletes, & Top Speed1 Cat Back system. No cats…no restrictions. Going to have to dyno it.

Love the sound. Haven't turned up my stereo since I got them installed. Combine that with my new Cold Air Intake - it is pumping out the ponies.

Nice car BTW.
