Yup. I'll be calling them on monday again...

there is an even newer one out now... would be nice if it was a TSB..

OK Finally shot some quick video of the 2.5" straight through mufflers.

Like I said before they are LOUD probably too loud.

If I was 27 I'd leav'em... but at 37.... not so much.

Here's some pics and vids showing the difference.


The 3" Chambered I originally had on the car.



Exhaust clip.



Take off and Fly By.



The 2.5" Straight Through I just put on.





They sound great but with 25 mile highway trip every day... that drone is brutal..

But they sound BAD @$$

I say go back to the first one. I guess I'm too old.

I have the Borla Touring and it's just right. So that gives you some perspective.

Loud is one thing, drone, something completely different.... I was going to have the Helmholtz chambers done, but my builder said to wait as I am getting a magna flow three inch system and the turbos will slice and dice the sound waves into a thousand bits of noise and will pretty much eliminate any drone..

I hear ya. And all I can say is I've had one of my 3" slide off the x pipe and it was loud.

These 2.5" are that loud... the video doesn't really translate the volume...

I'll drive it for another week.

Loud is a relative term. You mean you have to use headsets to talk to your passengers?
