New exhaust!!

WooHoo!!

I just installed my new MRT v1 axle-back exhaust and it sounds awesome!! Now it sounds like a sports car! Next up is an injen intake which shipped yesterday.

Not much at all when you're cruising around. Under normal driving it's about the same volume as stock, it just sounds better; but when you lay into it, it changes and sounds like a freaking racecar, I'm loving it and it seems to get even better after a couple of weeks of driving.

The only time where you really get it is if the engine is under load like when you go up a hill; you hit a spot around 2,800-3,500 rpm where you get that bass-y vibration that seems to fill the air but it goes completely away after you level off. I actually kind of like the drone but then again I'm weird, makes it sound almost like a V8, real deep

I can listen to the stereo at normal volume and have a conversation with someone else just as easily as when it was stock, no problem.

I put in an injen intake a little over a week ago and with just those two things it's like a totally different car! I notice that the throttle kicks in faster when you press the gas and it revs much smoother and easier when you're accelerating. It also makes the exhaust sound better too, a nice throaty snarl.

Thanks I'm just outside of Houston so, the only climbing I do is over a bridge lol

Congrats!

Felt the same way when I installed my SW retro cat back. Sounds more like a muscle car should. I'm still working on sound and power with headers and Solo HFCs.

Now you've gone and let the mod monkey get on your back! Ha.
