For those with experience here, is the axelback going to make it louder?
Ok...my AR DPs are mounted (stock midpipe & Berk street Perf axleback) and the dB's are definitely higher and the tone is a lot deeper. I was satisfied with the sound prior to the addition of the AR DPs but I kind of like it more now I think your sound (dBs) is fairly loud due to the DPs...if you change to the Berk Street Performance axle back the tone will definitely change to the Berk sound without an enormous increase in dBs. I would say it is worth the change but thats my opinion.
