Yes, is really loud. It seems like the car was faster on the top end but I lost low-end torque. I was rolling with no mufflers and an x pipe. There was drawing around 2100 RPM or so when it changes gears

Did you get the Quicksilver exhaust ? You think that would be an alternative ? I know they have a Super Sport version but I would like to get a sound clip. I noticed that the over axel pipes appear to have some small silencers on it.

The only thing that bothered me was that it was more raspy than a "muscle" sound. So I ended up putting 2 mufflers back on and it still sounds great. It's quite inside where you'd think "damn this car needs to be louder". But if you hear it from the outside, you'd think otherwise.

I never got the quicksilver ss but I've heard it from 2 instagram accounts. It sounds a lot more muscle and less raspy like my car was. I think that could be the result of the H pipe with no mufflers instead of x pipe?

But I'm happy with what I have now. Xpipe, and 2 rear (Mina exhaust) mufflers.

I forgot to add this one when I had straight pipes and X pipe. It was a tunnel video

The X-Pipe with Mina sounds great by the way. Does the Quicksilver SS sound better than the straight pipe setup ? Can you post the instagram clips on here ?
