exactly what i was looking for! Doesn't sound like a bullet

Unlike most people who buy either Mustangs or trucks, I went for a hatchback. 2 liter 4 cylinder DOHC. At idle the car is not noisy at all. in the cabin it is almost inaudible with the air conditioner turned off and the radio turned off. It's rumbling outside, but nothing terrible. give it some gas. and this thing comes alive. At 2000 rpm I heard it clearly on the radio and the air conditioning. I didn't turn on the music or anything, but it was still at a medium volume. At full throttle, you won't be able to tune out the audio, no matter how loud your radio is. very nice hum. However, this is not offensive. Even if you drive around you, as long as you toggle it, you can still talk to people in the car normally. At full throttle, you need to raise your voice a little. it has a very nice deep rumbling tone. Even with a 4 cylinder like mine. and I don't know if it's a placebo, but I've noticed that it draws a bit more (with the A/C off). Now if you don't want to hear it all the time, you can be happy to know that you can't hear it at all until the inertial movement. provided you drive the shifter. As soon as you turn it off, it "turns off" and you can't hear anything. WHAT TO DISCUSS BEFORE BUYING! You may need an adapter tube to install it there. It doesn't work out of the box, you need to buy an adapter. They are very cheap, about $3 or $4 in the Auto Zone. it does not have to be an exact measurement for an adapter. I have a 1 3/4" pipe and an adapter from 1 7/8 to 2 and 1/4" and the guy at the store said it was fine, they could just stretch the adapter a little and screw it assemble. THEY WILL CUT YOUR OLD MUFFLER. It's one of the things my friends ask me now that I have it (they love the sound) if I need to cut off my old muffler. and yes. You will cut it off to weld a new one on. Be ready to buy some exhaust hangers. again, it's not expensive at all. like 10-15 dollars. maybe less. Most mufflers have hooks to hold them in place. Luckily the guy found some U-shaped steel bolts at the store, used them as hangers and welded them on. or you can cut hangers off your old muffler and use them instead. However, if they can't do either of those two things, it's best to be prepared and buy a pair already. If they don't use it, you can always return it. This product is of good quality and extremely fun to drive. One of the funniest things is seeing people's faces as they don't expect a car like mine to sound like that. Shifting is incredibly satisfying and I'm itching to downshift. It really gives your car a "sleeping" atmosphere. that's exactly what I'm modifying this car with, but now it sounds like a part too. Best of all, the exhaust isn't very noticeable or too big. In fact, it was smaller than my stock exhaust. and surprisingly lighter. This one weighs 10 to 15 pounds. My old one weighed about 30! (WEIGHT REDUCTION!) It doesn't try to show off the boat, unlike the huge shiny fart tanks you see on some cheap Hondas. and it sounds. Soo beautiful. definitely worth the money. Sounds great on almost any car from 4 cylinder to 6 cylinder to V8. can't go wrong.
