Do you have the resonated midpipes? If so, are you having problems of it being close to the brace? I hear it hitting the brace when the car goes over bumpy roads.
I'm sure I need to adjust the system a bit to get it further away from the brace. Just curiuos if ur experiencing the same problem.

I have the straight pipes so no resonator here. It sounds like a simple adjustment issue. I helped install mine and the fitment was perfect. I'm sure you can get it there too.

I was wondering if the sound file of the GT exhaust on you tube and vivid racing website is similar to what yours sounds like. I love the sound of that exhaust and was wondering if the car in the video sound file is with the mid pipes and cat back or just cat back. Can you please post a sound file.

None of this would have happened if you didn't hook me up with this car.

Anyone needing a car...contact this guy.

Ok..so the video on vivid is pretty close to actual. At cold start it's loud, but only for like 10 seconds or so...then quiets down close to stock.
It does drone in the cabin which the video don't seem so bad.

You think it sounds the same when under accleration it sounds pretty loud in video which I want...I think it sounds great. I am sure it will louden up even more with catless downpipes. I was thinking of going with CPE catless down pipes do you think there would be any fitment issues. Overall are you happy with the exhaust from performance as in power gains and sound, because I def have my eye on this one. Thanks

Yes, I'm very happy with the system, fitment is not an issue.
The quality is there, you can definitely hear the exhaust.
If you want it louder, I would suggest you go for the non resonated mid pipes. The throttle response has improved a lot just removing the secondary pipes. This car is my daily and drone can get a little annoying at times, but bearable. I too plan on getting catless dps...I wonder it'll
reduce some more of the drone.
