Default Modified exhaust got the perfect note. Very exotic

Ok its done. I planned this out for a year but got exactly what I wanted. This is the sound I was looking for.

I got a Stamped X pipe 2.5" installed as close as I can to the cats. 2.5" pipe all the way back to the factory mufflers.

It sounds like an aston martin. Very subtle but delivers a smooth sound. On freeway its almost factory. Heres what I learned. On my XKR back then same setup didnt sound as tone or exotic, but louder. I noticed the supercharger throws off the sound a lot. The N/A engines sounds refine and smooth.

The rear mufflers do sound good. I know they have some restrictions but no drone at all. So I kept them intact after purchasing performance mufflers to replace them. No need.

I will upload a video soon once I figure out my camera

I'm certain the cams are quite different between the NA and SC versions of the 4.2 which would change the sound of the exhaust quite a bit.

Nice job!
