The Good:
Definately a better sound than the stock exhaust. At WOT it has good tone, not too loud inside the car. At idle at a stop light it's relatively quite, nice mellow rumble. The power seems to come on smooth and rev up the way it should.
The Bad:
For a 50 series muffler, it can get loud inside the car. It's not harsh or raspy, but there's a definate drone between 1500 and 2000 rpm (highway cruizing). At part throttle, stop and go city driving, interior drone can get a bit annoying. If you like driving with music playing softly in the background, you probably won't like the interior sound of this system. You might not even like it if you blast metal or hip-hop (or whatever...)
The Ugly:
Cutting the stock exhaust essentially renders it useless. There's no going back to stock unless you weld or clamp it (assuming you keep it around, just in case...) Also, it looks ok except for the tips that come with it. The bulbuous round tips just don't look right, in my opinion. (I've got a pair of slash-cut straight chrome tips I'm going to clamp on for now.)
The Verdict:
Too soon to tell. Either I'll get used to it, or not. But yet another "expectation" marred by reality. If this is suppose to be a "quite" system, I can't imagine what a loud system would sound like.
Anyone in the Chi-Town area selling a take off from an R/T?
