    Any drive by clip? I sat in the back seat once while my wife drove the Tig, I'm quite surprised how boomy the exhaust is especially at low RPM. I can't hear the noise from front seats, but very apparent on back seats. Hopefully this upgrade doesn't exaggerate the boominess

    Sound only.
    If you want more power from the cat-back you need to remove the resonator but i was affraid this would produce an overly loud or warbly note.

    Will see if i can get a drive by clip next week.
    I was a little rushed for time so i couldn't get that done.




    On the upside, the system is completely reversible so i can just bolt the stock muffler back on if i want at any time, should only take 5-10 minutes.

    There is a little resonance at 1750 and again at 3000 but it's only there for a short range and you don't really sit on those rpm bands often.

    Bear in mind it will be a bit quieter if you have the stock downpipe since i have the apr 3" downpipe and high flow cat.
    I should try sitting in the back and seeing how it sounds.

    Drone at 1750rpm's has all but dissapeared as the system beds in and coats itself in exhaust ash.
    It is only noticeable under load for now.

    Resonance is still there at 3000rpm's but if you are drviing it regularly you can easily shift at 3k and miss this.
    So you only get it for a short while under wide open throttle.
