I have asked numerous times before. There are several complaints, but no videos. I would love to hear what AFM sounds like!

To me, this "Drone" is only noticeable during acceleration. I can put my car on auto-pilot at most speeds and it's quite negligible.

I can really notice it when it's running on 4 cylinders but I have to give a slight amount of gas to either keep up with traffic or mantain speed going up a slight incline but I'm not straining it enough to jump into 8 cylinder. It sounds like it simply doesnt have the power to to accelerate the car and is straining. Then it kicks up to 8 cylinders and the exhaust note spikes. It is very annoying in traffic.

Does this effect the preformance of your car? (the straining part) or is it just annoying? Thanks!

I just made this video today, its the Borla S-Type.



Here is my super high tech steering wheel mount for the Samsung SL820 Camera. It involves a sock to isolate any sounds from the steering column/wheel and some masking tape to keep the camera in place(both painters tape and regular, the painters is first attached to the camera to protect the finish from the regular tape).

Give us a look too before you make a decision. We were able to make an exhaust with no drone, great quality, improved throttle response, and at a very reasonable price.

I have the Borla S Type and I put it on cruise and barely hear it at anywhere between 55 and 70. I don't know what people are complaining about. I can barely hear the Borlas on the highway unless I unleash the beast, then it sounds fantastic!
