sorry for the delay of yours @oso_25, there was a recent complain about the tips rusting in denver colorado, we didn't send out any exhaust (yours) until the issue was addressed. it was concluded that it was only road dirt and grime and NOT rust. yours it on the way

Thank you in advance.
your exhaust is already being made. it was clearly stated that it may take 1-2 weeks to be delivered since each one is made to order.

and it has been crazy at the shop lately since its track week this weekend at sonoma raceway.

I think I would spend another $150 to get a quality SS axleback that's been engineered to flow equally through both pipes and sounds the part. Nameless comes to mind.

How do you like it?

It will be interesting on how it sounds like with aftermarket front pipes???

Dude I fully agree, I'm surprised how so many exhaust videos aren't in depth enough. I actually like it in general, but it was a little louder than I expected (I think I'm getting old), particularly when going up a hill (I live up a long hill). I think it's louder than a 350z, but quieter than a toyota truck with a TRD exhaust, or a fiat abarth or M5. Tips fill up the diffuser perfectly. At high rpms though the engine noise from the noise generator actually is louder. Cold starts are awesome! But in the end I may sell it as I've gotten some interesting looks from my neighbors going up my steep hill, just my unfortunate situation.

Naw you'll be fine IMO. I just had my cousin ride with me and he says its not loud enough, I think it's really just personal preference. In the end I probably was the type who should've just stayed stock, even though I hate to admit that.

SpeedFactory does a very thorough job of creating videos to give you as good an idea as possible of what an exhaust will sound like. It's what sold me on the V1.

That's sounds mean. What would it sound like with the stock midpipe?

These are with works res front pipes/test pipe.

My mistake lol

If I pair the ab-m and works front pipe together what would that sound like? Leaving the midpipe stock.
