I could post the results myself, but I'll let John handle it. We did 60 runs yesterday! I'm playing with the dyno files as we speak.

Just out of curiosity, how loud is the SRT exhaust? When I had my WRX, I had a TurboXS full exhaust with a RFL-Ti axle-back on it and that thing was loud. If you've ever heard the RFL-Ti, would you say the SRT is louder?

It's the loudest I wan't an exhaust to be. Sounds NASTY from outside the car. I'm definitely keeping it. It makes power too. Let me see if I can upload a video that I took with my phone. Might suck though, being from a phone and all.

I was able to find an old vid of my car when it was dyno'd. The only difficult part is that you can't really compare videos because there are so many variables in place. I think the SRT is about the same as the RFL I had. . .maybe less.

I'd be interested to hear what you think though so here's the vid:

I like loud exhausts - but I like quiet cruising.

How is the SRT on the highway at 70 mph??? do you have to turn your music loud just to be able to hear it?

SRT is my favorite based on the videos i have watched.

^ thanks for the vid - but that doesn't quite answer my question. I mean it sounds quiet at cruising speeds, but it is so hard to tell from videos.

What's your opinion on it at cruising speeds?

It really all depends on how heavy your foot is. If you're just cruising, doing a continual speed, it's actually rather quiet. If you're accelerating, even a little, it gets a bit louder. Nothing that would tire you out on long trips (it was 2.5 hours to Visconti yesterday and I had no issues)

BTW, a big thanks to @Visconti for dedicating an entire day to my car and the 86 community. His service is top notch and an example for all vendors/tuners everywhere. It was great to meet you, your wife, and your puppy. And thanks for the caffeine fuel for the 2.5 hour ride home at 1230 AM. Definitely needed it!

CBR600RR · 09-28-2012, 10:30 AM

^ cool thats what I was hoping.

I love the sound.

Yea, I will say that aFe intakes definitely need a tune. I'm sure John will post the dynos shortly. But the AFR on a stock flash for an aFe isn't pretty. Which is odd, because I got NO bogging on the aFe where as the AIRAID unit was bogtastic on my car. Weird.

Jidonsu · 09-28-2012, 11:14 AM

So it sounds like the afe intake, SRT exhaust, and tune seem to give good gains? I already have the exhaust but no intake yet.

Are you running 93 or e85?
