got mine installed on 11/24 souds great - very throaty and deep.
How would you describe the sound vs. stock:
1. when idling
2. WOT
3. cruising on highway

Any resonance while cruising?

You wouldn't happen to have a sound clip you could share, would you?

Yes, I understand from your other post that you also installed the Dinan throttle body so I'm very curious to see how much difference the combined upgrade provided.

Thanks.

1 - I would say about 35% louder at idle
2 - WOT - very nice an daggresive
3 - crusing pretty much like stock - silent
4 - I will go take a video off my cell phone at lunch - give me your email address i will try to send sound clip

Any chance the file could be posted on here? Thinking about the Dinan mods myself and would be good to hear the clips.
cheers

I Think that the dinan - remus- kellerner - eisenmann are all about the same.

I think that the b&B - borla are about the same - sounds more like a muscle car

I think you are right. I recently put a B&B movie/sound file in my sig. If anyone tries it, then let me know if you have problems. It's just an AVI file, but I am having trouble viewing it when using Firefox. No problem using Explorer. Thanks.
