I actually like both sounds ,but guess my wife would appreciate it not being heard from a house away. LOL

I really like both versions too!

I like the louder, more aggressive growl of the first version. When you rev it, it definitely has a more harsh, in your face kind of attitude... But I also like the newer version with the more refined sound! And I'm sure my wife appreciates it being noticeable quieter too!

So... it's great to have choices!

Awesome! Are you planning on swapping over permanently, or are you going to be running the original kit still?

I'm waiting to be able to hear the original kit with a set of those JBA shorties bolted on. The shorties should lower the pitch just a hair, which in my opinion is all it needs to be perfect.

I will try to get some normal driving video soon... Today however we are having like 20 MPH winds with 30 MPH gusts! So all you are going to hear is the WIND! LOL

Pfft. I leave for work early too. I just don't care what the neighbors think.

The other day I was cooking chicken on my indoor grill at 1 AM and I set off the fire alarm... And I live in a condo, which is only a little better than an appartment.

I live across the street from a Judge... needless to say I do care what HE thinks! And of course with the original version I would occasionally wake the wife up when I would start my car... Trust me... if Moma's not happy, nobody's happy! LOL!

Very impressive! Especially the drop in interior resonance.

I still prefer the original though.

OK, How about the drone from 2k to 3k compared to the orig. system ?

Really didn't notice it drone... I would say overall it's a quieter system with a very noticeable improvement in that 2000 RPM heavy resonance range...

Scrming I would have to say I like the first one a lot better. But I am young and I like drone and I like loud pipes. haha I want my neighbors to hear me start it up and I want people to hear me coming. lol. I think the original system sounds a lot stronger. The second one sounds really good too but not as loud as I would like. It sounds the way the car should sound stock. PS I get my MRT 1.0 installed Wednesday! Just waiting for different tips to come in.
