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

It's too big to post here (7M.

With bturkel's permission, I'd be happy to host it and post a link.

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.
