I haven't gotten an after video yet, but I have my doubts that it will sound different on video.

:00-:18 is cruising in fourth gear around 40-45mph
:19-:32 is moderate acceleration, shifting around 5k rpms
:33-:45 is acceleration in second gear from around 2k rpms
:46-:57 is WOT in first and part of second

The windows were closed and the a/c was on for the entirety of this video. I plan on posting more videos, and if any of you guys want a specific RPM range or situation for me to capture, speak up.

wow, that does sounds pretty loud. Not sure if its gonna be in a good way or a bad way . I guess I'll have to wait till i install mine

I can live with the drone now since its not nearly as bad as it was.

I took a before clip from inside the cabin, I have yet to take an after clip.

Ugh. From the very beginning they advertised this exhaust as not having any drone. Then they had to go back and fix it. And now it still has drone?

fwiw my perrin is drone free, loving it..sorry you folks are suffering drone

It will take a little time for SRT as they dont have alot of boxxer experience under their belt.
seems like good people n all, but their site showcases lots of experience with inline 4 motors

if the drone bugs me too much, i'll end up selling it to someone.

Let me clarify earlier comments.

On the original resonator, the drone felt like someone put a subwoofer in your head and turned it up to 11.

With the new resonator, there is a higher frequency hum from the exhaust. Its much more tolerable, and Im very picky when it comes to drone.

Can you live with it?

Yep. I love it. I've put about 500 miles on the car with the new resonator and Im loving it more and more each day.

How's the car with intake, exhaust n tune? Did you have a chance to drive with all 3?

I modded it in this order:

-Tune
-Tune and intake
-Tune, intake, and exhaust

At first I didnt notice a difference with the exhaust, but the ECU was still learning. It feels like it pulls stronger above 4k rpm. Im running the Airaid intake and unfortunately Im suffering from the bog, so once that gets taken care of the car may feel more powerful down low too.

Those three mods made a huge difference in driving excitement.

I haven't driven extensively on the highway yet, but I will tomorrow as I drive back to CT from DC. The car sounds great driving around the city though, even inside the cabin. In some sense, I think the sound has mellowed out a bit between the day the exhaust was installed, which was yesterday, and today. I do have a larger resonator. I'll post an updated review as I spend more time with it.

Cannot wait to see more update, don't want to sell mine but cannot live with drone.

Mo any chance you'll have an updated "who got their product shipped" post or at least plop that on the first post? Well call you first thing on Tuesday to make sure I'm still getting more.

To everyone else who got their exhaust: thanks for making it hard to sit still while you guys have gorgeous sound clips and videos and general praise towards this system. I am jealous...

Not really, if you read the posts, most if not all of those folks have had a change in financial circumstances or have decided they can't wait any longer. It has nothing to do with the exhaust.
