Tested my new Helmet for autocross, and really cant hear anything from the car with ASC OFF.

It’s back ON till I get my axleback.

It should be at least stock 350Z loud.
The shop took a look at the exhaust today. The gasket wasn't properly seated, and apparently I overtorque'd it to compensate (oops). They replaced the gasket and all is well now. No leaks. What's weird is I wasn't able to hear it initially.

With that said, the exhaust is louder now than previously. Not a terrible increase, but definitely a noticeable one. I actually really enjoy it! I think it compliments the tone well, plus the tips look amazing:







Then I went home and disabled ASC. And... damn does it make it super quiet compared to before. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I think I prefer it with ASC. Never thought those words would leave my lips.
