The funny thing is they didn't get it The duct tape was to cover the red light when pressing Record.

I'm sure you can figure out the rest Put it this way, I can't post it on YouTube

Sounds good. When the weather clears up well have to go for another run. We can compare your pipes to ExoticAlex's straight pipes on his GT2 as i know he's been dying to get out. Cheers man!

Believe it or not, I think the old cargraphic setup sounded better and had some real quality to it....this one sounds too RAW and simply LOUD.

Simply awesome Fred, it sounds like a proper race car now! It's bright green, it has a huge wing and plastic side windows, it's supposed to be loud and raw. It's perfect!

He sure does... Cargraphic was/is a great set up but he goes to the track a helluva lot and the high-flow cats don't do too well in that environment It's so much louder because he has that custom set up with no mufflers. Our bypass that we sell as a product still retains the side mufflers and is more for "everyone".. This is a Fred-only product

Ask anyone who's heard the car at the track, it's sounds insane and just like a GT3 cup car. Neutral doesn't give you the proper idea. At the track you hear the downshift, WOT, bliping, low/medium/high gears, etc..

Don't get me wrong the Cargraphic sounded awesome, but just not in the same league as the GT3 Cup car sound. (which is what I wanted).

Agreed, straight pipes are hella lound and illegal. For those who don't want it that loud then the Cargraphic or Sharkwerks exhausts are indeed the best solution.

Keep in mind, I have issues hence why I love my straight pipes

Two different cars. The car on the dyno is Shark's with his by-pass system. The vids Fred posted are his car with straight pipes.
