That is my car, so I am pretty sure it sounds the same (unless he has done some mods farther up stream. It really is nice.

With the cost of the RPi exhaust, quads would have been quite expensive lol.

Here's what mine sounded like shortly after installing it on my car this past winter. The best is the last 15 seconds of this video. It sounds much different now. I need to take more vids...

That sounds nasty! (in a good way )

The only gripe I have with my exhaust is that there is some droning at 1500-1700rpm. Will this subside after a few hundred miles?

I installed Dynomat under my heat shields along the entire underbelly of my car (b/c I have all 3 sections). It goes all the way up to front, where the headers and primary cats connect with Section 1. Since yours is only section 3, I would suggest doing this, if you can. It will definitely help. You can also like the trunk space with Dynomat and that will make a big difference.
