I have had mine for about 6 months. I don't think it's gotten any loud. It was just loud to begin with. When I am trying to have a conversation and accelerate it's impossible. Thank god for the automatic that drops the RPMs down quickly.
I gotcha...well, post your findings cause I'm going to do the race header soon and know that I'm going to need a resonator. I've seen the videos and thats too loud without one even for me lol
You just installed your exhaust didn't you? I was wondering what tools were needed to complete it? The place I went to that installed the exhaust wants $80 to do it, that's how much I paid to have them put the entire thing on. Not gonna do that. Wondering if I have the tools to do it myself...
Thanks for posting those. I am sure overtime my exhaust gas gotten louder. It's just hard for me to tell because it was loud to begin with. I will let you know what I find.
I haven't made the jump into exhaust with this one yet. I'm thinking that the Magnaflow is the way to go for me. It has a nice mellow tone for a guy like me with aging ears.
Just waiting for them to ship it. I hope they ship it today. Will let you know. The race is very loud, my partner can't stand it. He said thank god when I told him about me ordering the stealth pipe for it. Idk what to do if it remains loud, add another muffler?
Yeah no...dont go to a shop...only tools you should need are a jack, jack stands, 3/8 ratchet, long extension and a deep ended 15mm socket. Takes about 15 mins beginning to end.
Volume would be a large difference and the stealth from what I have heard has less drone to almost none. So I would like that. Plus the stealth has a deeper tone. There are benefits to both for sure.
Roflmao! I do love the way the race sounds when I am by myself. But my hubby he doesn't. Happy hubby = happy life. I haven't installed it yet. Need to buy jack and a jack stands.
So the stealth pipe is getting installed today. It was cheaper to have it installed than buy all the tools to do it myself. Been on a bit of a budget trying to save up to buy a house. But after the house, look out! Get a few more mods before I go back to school
Update; it's on. Pretty quiet when cruising but loud if you get on it.
