I have a little video of the sound of it that I took. So there's no revving the engine or a drive by or anything. I guess I can post that for now.

sounds like a healthy motor.
Nice sound. I am sure it is better in person.

A 3" back, would give an even deeper note. but would have a little more drone on the highway.

Nice!

Thanks. The drone isn't too bad with this, and if the radio is on, it's just background noise. You can really notice the turbo as well with the new exhaust, it really whines.

Yeah yours is very nice.

I like the sound of mine. it is quiet, has a subi grumble in the the car at idle, and sounds like a 260,000mile 4bannger (well a very healthy one)

Can't wait to get the 244T all fixed up.

That does sound nice. I like the nice low tone of it. When I get my next 850 that has lower mileage, I'll probably do more with it and upgrade the exhaust with a 3" catback.

Yeah, that should be nice. I wish I could keep upgrading this one, but I just don't want to risk anything, so I'm basically just focusing on making it look really nice.

Sounds good. The usual can :P. Your exhaust is basically a can with a tip :P

it is MUCH more than a can with a tip... it is a full matching exhaust system. (minus the header)
