    I think that these are pretty quiet compared to glass packs, flowmasters, and the obvious no muffler, however they were not cheap. Are you looking for like stock quiet?

      Interesting. Of course, your old Super Rumblemaster exhaust setup was actually pretty quiet from inside the car as loud exhaust goes, even though in that configuration it was also the only thing I've driven that would turn heads instantly when I started it in a parking lot. Which is odd, considering that the glasspack setup I had on the wagon for a while was loud enough (even with the stock lowpo) to set off car alarms as I drove past. Even the recent full-2.5" Super Turbo system that was driving me 1000% inane every single time I had to drive the thing in traffic, never got a single look in a parking lot, at least that I was aware of.


      Either way, I definitely agree that there's a big difference in a 2" single exhaust with no muffler versus a dual exhaust with no muffler.

          The video did it no justice, they have a nice howl though. They are starting to attract attention now too. But they are by no means loud that isnt what I wanted.

            When people hear loud obnoxious exhaust, they think its a pos truck. When people hear loud exhaust that sounds good, they think its something worth looking at, and heads turn. heads turn when I start the 85...

              And I would imagine people also had a confused look on their face, too? Well, that's what I always saw at least.

                I like really quiet exhaust, nearly at stock levels if I can get it. My ears start to ring and whine if I ride in stuff with massive interior resonance, and they do so for hours and hours afterward.

                  Out of my lack of understanding for the term P/N I will say that they are Magnaflow XL turbos, they make them in stainless and alumanized, Mine are Stainless. About 100-120 a piece.

                  Also as for interior resonance there is barely any although you can hear it when you get up in RPMs its just a rumble and with the music at normal volume its near impossible (With my bazooka tube cranked it is impossible) However I have gotten complements on how nice they sound from various people at stores or gas stations. They sound really nice at WOT or when you get into it to accelerate, but again not much can be heard inside.

                        Wow the tailpipe is super cheap. $30! I'm going to take it to the shop and have them connect the Y and the tailpipe. It might make it a little bit quieter which would be good but if it doesnt, I might just go ahead and get a muffler.

                          lol - hey, "Y" not? Can't imagine it'd cost that much to have someone toss a pipe between the Y and the tail, and it'll keep noise and fumes pretty much under control.
