Well with the 3 inch exhaust it is very loud. The sound is very deep and mean. Everyone that has heard it thinks it sounds awesome. The only problem is that with the whipple, cam, and headers, if I step on it you can hear me from a mile away. Forget trying to leave your neighborhood quietly.

I have an appointment on Thursday to have an extra pair of kooks resonators installed. I am also considering a helmholtz pipe to eliminate drone between 1600-2000 rpm. If that isn't enough I will be adding a pypes M-80 race muffler just after the cat. All these resonators are a straight through design which will keep a straight 3 inch pipe all the way to the rear. I will try to get to the dyno by the end of the week.

I have put about 500 miles on the car since picking it up. First this car has way more power than the car has traction. If I step on it in any gear, I spin the tires hard. If I step on it in 1st or 2nd gear, the back end fishtails pretty hard until I back off or shift. I could easily get into trouble with this much power. I am still getting used to the changes.

I think the very next thing the car needs is more traction. I would recommend anyone else installing the whipple, drive their car with just the supercharger before deciding they need more power. I was considering more upgrades but I am more than happy for now. I think I'll just enjoy the car now until the weather gets cold.

What mufflers did you go with?

Still running stock Pzero`s?

Yeah, I agree, get used to that power before adding more.
