Be careful who gets near your car! (New exhaust thread)

Just drove Todd's car with the new exhaust. WOW!!!! The people at the Chamber of Commerce did not seem to be as impressed as I was though. Not sure what footage Todd got but we shut it down as I'm fairly certain the cops were called LOL.
Car sounds like an angry GT3 now. Idle isn't as "tractory" as the other exhausts I've heard either.

We were using the road right behind my office which is typically a pretty good road to open it up on at a variety of speeds. Needless to say I hadn't really accounted for the fact that Todd's car makes a little more noise than I had anticipated.

OK, so Ben and I decided to have lunch today and film the new exhaust tone. So after burgers, he jumped in my car, I jumped in his and we headed to a "perfect" spot that he chose. He made several angry passes in front of me before I could adjust the Canon 5D for a proper shot. Well, he picked a spot right in front of the Chamber of Commerce. I had not even set up yet while he noticed someone outside calling the po po. He did a U turn and pulled up slowly and said we should probably head back to his office since we were about to go to jail. So I have 3 vids, 2 were slow and one is a distant pull off camera. External stereo mic was used.
But I did record him telling me we had better leave. But during those few MAD pulls, the car sounded amazingly similar to a GT3 at WOT. It really kicks ***. Its a prefect compromise between straight pipes and a Fabspeed LOUD exhaust. It still drones, but not nearly as bad as straight cat-less pipes. For my needs, this exhaust is perfect and sounds like a Porsche should sound IMO. On a side note, Ben only stalled it once. Great job.
Distant WOT pass off-camera. Still easily heard.
Slow pass
Let's get out of here!

My review as posted in another thread.
I have to say, this exhaust sounds spectacular at idle, cruising and at WOT. You can still hear the turbos BUT at WOT it sounds just like an angry GT3! Cold start up is as loud or slightly quieter than straight pipes, but it settles down later. The car still burps and pops under decel which I love. It will drone in between 2200 and 2900rpm. It may not be the ideal choice for a Daily driver for the loud start up and drone. I will probably not dyno with it installed until later, but I'll run a 60-130 to see if it hurts or helps. Great product and customer service. I would recommend to anyone who wants a great sounding, zero restricting exhaust for street or track.
