If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Thanks I'm happy with it. Thought the stock mufflers would yield a quieter sound but that's ok. No drone or raspiness that I have heard so far. Exhaust has a deeper tone at low rpms in the cabin but it's not annoying at all.

I will add it to the other thread soon!

Could you get a video of the car doing a drive by or a full throttle run? I'm thinking about doing this as well. Thanks!

Sure man I can do that.  Might be a few days. Also it's not tuned at the moment so not sure if stock psi makes much of a difference.

I'd appreciate it. I like how it sounds without being to loud. Just wonder what it sounds like under heavy acceleration.

Not sure if catless dp would make it sound worse or better. Still trying to figure that out. I think the stock mufflers do the best at eliminating the drone.

Yes no drone. I'm sure catless will be louder with more turbo whistle. And of course more power.  You could always get an xpipe 'muffler/resonator' instead of a normal xpipe. I think magnaflow makes one.

Im looking for the most turbo whistle i can get without having it sound like a rice wagon. Yours sounded just right in the decibel level with a noticeable whistle. Wonder if the stock downpipes are blocking the whistle or if the stock mufflers are.

I agree wasinger, I think it's just right. And that is my personal preference, still quiet with a sporty tune and a little whistle.

Shoman, best of both worlds I like it man!

Do you have any video of your car doing a drive by? It sounds great. Just not sure how loud it is at wot. Did you ever run the Dynomax with the stock downpipes? If so how did it sound?

I've heard of xpipe mufflers. Would you just use 1 where the xpipe would go and straight pipe the rest? I've heard our cars straight piped, holy whistle!
