Pull-me-over loud or just I-can-actually-hear-the-exhaust loud?

It's not raspy and does have a deep tone. It is a bit loud, but you won't be mistaken for a civic.

It's not raspy, just... loud. It doesn't drone while cruising. It just gets loud when accelerating. I'll see if I can convince the lady to take a video tomorrow.

Video camera microphones will suck no matter what. I have some Shure SM57's and an M-Audio ProFire 2626 that I use for recording audio. Much higher quality than any sub-$5,000 video camera.

Please post some good videos of the in car sound... acceleration in gear beginning at both 2-3k and 5k and also downshift-throttle blips at both those rpm ranges.

Those who have ordered, please take video. I might be wanting to give up my order to another person... I was definitely not looking to get a loud exhaust for my FRS :-/

Love the clean look! Just wish I could use this in CA. Makes me sad. I like the sound quite a bit compared to other systems.

If you're serious about this and got the exhaust for introductory pricing, shoot me a PM.

What's your opinion on the volume of this exhaust? Esp at cruising speeds?

Finished the installation about 6PM saturday with my sons help. We took it out driving right after of course and all i can is WOW love everything about it! Quiet until you get in the throttle then a little loud but at cruising speed it has zero drone and not much louder than the stock exhaust. Can feel a significate difference in engine torque, the car pulls better through all gears! Thanks SRT for developing the best headerback system out there!
