From the outside, when it starts up and cold its pretty beefy, but then it calms down and idles deep and sounds smooth but not loud and drowning. When u rev it u get a deeper rev noise than normal. From inside its very good. You can hear everything, the noise isnt overpowering. I think the biggest change in noise since i got it was inside, it just sounds so much better inside! My advice would be 2.5 resi and muffler. I hate the sound of canons personally, and i think a resi is necessary so it kills the droaning. hope that made sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachlan H Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 u ever been hasseled by cops or defected for it bein too loud? d/w i dun like cannons either Well its not loud enough to be pulled over by the cops. Its hard to explain exhaust noises in word form hahah! Its louder than normal. Do you like loud exhausts that get people looking at you or are u just looking for it to sound a little sportier?

Lachlan H Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Oh yeah, and i got a rediculous improvement in fuel economy since i did it last year, i get but 600-650km and sometimes close to 700km out of a single tank of V-power, depending on my driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachlan H Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hmm i see then! Well i would highly recommend the 2.5 inch pipe....but as far as i know, if you take out the resi in any car, thats what makes it LOUD because the function of the resi is to resonate the waves to a certain extent and kill some off i think (very technical talk there). But I'm sure someone will be able to correct me. So id say, yes have a resi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
