Someone had asked how quiet my exhaust was so I made these videos. Yes the first 2 are boring.

The first video is low speed cruising with fairly mild acceleration. The second is highway speeds with mild acceleration in 5th and the last and some fun after a turn so you can hear aggressive acceleration.

Please let me know what you think I worked hard for a good sounding exhaust that would be quiet while cruising.

I like how it sounds....but from the videos and the sound itself, it just sounds like your exhaust is mostly silent with some sound at WOT, but most of the sound is coming from your air filter.

In fact, it actually sounds a lot like a 5sfe with a short ram...
HaHa

I'm down for an exhaust that is quiet at all times except for WOT. Sounds good.

Thanks I spent a lot of time researching parts to make it fairly quiet but still flow and look nice.

Yea the air filter provides most of the noise but the exhaust has a good tone with the TRD muffler and custom piping.

Poor CPE sounding like a 5sfe.

Need to buy them. I bought a house and lost a job and now my new job pays 20k less a year so most car projects are on hold.

Midias that exhaust sounds great!!!! Mine sounds similar but more raspy and loud. The last guy who did my exhaust created a nightmare but redid it and turned out better the second time around with my help. (crazy huh?) I will leave it as is for now until I get some motor maintenance done.

BTW, you got a PM
