crappy cell phone quality, once its clear outside i'll take a better picture with a real digital camera.

ordered a Coupe's axle back for my vert, not knowing if it would even fit. but it does. all the bolts and hangers lines up perfectly. sounds so good too. a gotta have for any vert owners since the exaust note is the true factor of a G .

Oh come now, it's fine image quality. If you squint a bit. And smear Vaseline on the computer monitor. And then chug a six pack of beer.


Anyway, congrats, glad they fit!

Does it sound smooth all the way up or does it buzz near the top rpm? Movies sound great.

Congrats Johnny! Nice set of stones with the purchase & leap of faith.

Can you describe the difference in sound and other improvements like throttle response etc. Also, where did you buy the unit and how much?

thanks. it sounds pretty smooth, no rasp from what i can hear. definatly louder than stock. 4k rpm has a neck snapping pull, i havent hit red line yet, cause my car still only has 500 miles on it. i will try to get video's up, and a newer picture, i had some picture, but it's been really cloudy and drizzling the past days and you cant barely see the exaust. but overall, not bad for a $444 dollar upgrade. i got the axleback from RoBear racing, 400+44 shipping.

I love when people think that adding some bigger pipes to the cats make a bid difference. Most of the "noise" is generated by the muffler and intake.

I'm strictly in it for the sound, not performance as there are no gains to be expected.

5hp is with most engine and dyno tolerance to be consider 0 gain. You can do 3 runs in a row and have zero difference or 5 hp difference. The engine never runs exactly the same all the time. Even more so because people look at peak and not area of curve changes where most of the time in NA if you go to bigger piping you gain a little peak and lost all down low.
