Thumbs up LFX Exhaust Examples

Please post all of your exhaust videos in here, starting from your first attempt at better sound/performance to what you currently have. If we get enough interest, this post will be made into a sticky like the LLT version. Thanks!

***

Solo Mach X-LFX J-Pipe Cat-Back Exhaust: I listened to all of the exhaust samples on C5, and also a bunch on YouTube. The Solo system sounded the best to me. There are a bunch of ricers around here with fart cans, and I wanted something better than that. Everyone who has heard it loves it.

Note: All recordings made with iPod Touch Gen 5, iOS 7, on-board microphone. Edited in FCPX.


I was previously running a stock intake with an aftermarket Green Filter, a VMAX Ported Throttle Body, and a SOLO Catback Exhaust.

Here is the cold start video of the above configuration:

Updates May 2014:

CAI Intake, a VMAX PTB, and a SOLO Catback Exhaust. I really couldn't tell any sound or performance gains from adding the CAI.

Here is the cold start video with the CAI:

Updates July 2015:

CAI Intake, APEX Air Scoop, a VMAX PTB, and a SOLO Catback Exhaust. Adding the scoop woke up the CAI, and the sound increased also.

0-60 MPH In-Cabin sound, windows rolled down, Sport mode:



40-60 MPH In-Cabin sound, windows rolled up, Sport mode: https://www.youtube.com/embed/4jI77Pp7mcM

40-60 MPH In-Cabin sound, windows rolled down, Sport mode: https://www.youtube.com/embed/IDAR-cAx5G8


Updates September 2015:

CAI Intake, APEX Air Scoop, a VMAX PTB, SOLO High-Flow Cats and a SOLO Catback Exhaust.

Wow! What a difference!

The sound is much better. There is now a low-level burble under the great SOLO cat-back sound at start-up and idle. The car now growls at half-way down on the throttle pedal; where it used to take nearly flooring it to get the same effect. I was hearing this with the windows shut. It must be deafening behind me. It is going to be a challenge to remain stealthy without the cops following me around now.

This is the most improvement to acceleration since I installed the VMAX PTB. A light 1/3 push on the throttle used to be comfortable; but now it is surging forward. I am literally half-way down on the pedal to get the same feeling that flooring it used to take. It reminds me of the Camaro V8's that I test drove before I got the V6; almost too much acceleration. The car was easy to hold at 60, but it kept creeping up when I was listening to the new sounds. Keeping my foot on it like I used to doesn't work the same now.

Note: The following recordings may sound similar to the previous ones, as there are some frequencies that the iPod stock microphone is unable to capture; like the burbling. I am going to buy some new sound recording equipment to correct this.

Here is the cold start video of the above configuration:

Please post everything that you have. Try to write up a short summary on each new revision, and how it sounded to you.

I am trying to make it so that interested parties can compare what has been done in one thread; without having to search all over the place.

Need to listen to these on speaker or headset, cell phone audio doesn't do it justice.

This is solo high flow cats and mrt v2

And after I added the resonated x pipe
http://youtu.be/KipDQ5WrNZ0

A lot deeper with the x pipe, but much louder without it.
