I was reading a another thread about another 38 year old concerned that his wife may not like the sound of the RPI exhaust.

I just turned 38 my new GF loves it, but then again she'd say anything to be with me - lol. At first I thought the new 550 RPI exhaust would be too loud, but I just had to have it after hearing a few others on the web. Now that I have mine I often drive without music to fully hear the exhaust note. The audio isn't too bad at all, but I suggest using headphones or good speakers.

Hope you enjoy it.
The sound is not too loud and barely heard while cruising.

I still need to make another daytime video, but here's prior one.

That was me and I did get one - love it! Now i'm trying to decide on a tune, either Singh or PES - not sure yet.

By the way careful with the camera placement man, you're gonna damage the lens or melt it with the exhaust gasses!
