Trust me, you won't be disappointed in the sound from that full race setup. It's really incredible.

In the last year, i have been pulled over by these law enforcement officers. Not a single one of them gave me a ticket. They simply asked me what exhaust and complimented me on it. They asked me for a business card and said "have a nice day"

Ive been pulled over in the 911, the sky, the m5. All have told me they sounded awesome.
Coming back from MFest with Kenny (keang24) in his RPi Stage 2 M5, a CHP pulls up next to us. Kenny gets super paranoid, doesn't even bother to look at the cop while driving UNDER the speed limit. After brief a while the cop passed us and follows Eloy (in 996TT with super loud RPi exhaust) to an exit. We later rendezvous with Eloy. Turns out, Eloy and the cop had a chat while filling up for gas. All the cop wanted to do was give Kenny a thumbs up about the sound of the exhaust. He tells Eloy, "Tell you buddy to relax, I wasn't going to bust him. Just wanted to let him know I liked the sound of the exhaust. It's the best sounding exhaust I've heard on an M5." Mind you, this was the full headers back setup which is really annoyingly loud. I think one of the cards above was from this cop, lol.

The same thing happened at our annual SLO meet, this year. We were driving down from the restaurant to the hotel, when a CHP officer was tailing our 20+ E60 caravan. He drove from the back all the way to the front and hung out next to Mikebuzzsaw's E46 AW m3. The CHP officer was checkout all the cars rolling next to us, i assumed he was getting ready to pull us all over for illegal modifications. He pulled up next to Eloy's RPi M5 and gave us the thumbs up and went on his way.
