Recording exhaust sound is dependant on so many factors (equipment used, indoor vs outdoor, position of microphone etc...) that we need a side by side video of stock car and this car in same environment and recording equipment to really make a sense of this.

Alex, thanks for posting... seems we’re at least going in the right direction with the sound.

Kart125 I agree and am always amazed that these companies, who’s sole purpose is basically to sell you an exhaust, and don’t do the basics like that. And there’s not even a shot of the product before install, no sound under load etc. The Cargraphic vid was the same thing.

It's a good start. Interested to hear a run through the gears up to max rpm.

Tough crowd, but I think that sounds good, it's definitely louder + raspier than the Cargraphics vid. You can tell the difference the OPF delete is making- the rasp/tone early in the revs is night and day from OEM.

When you compare to their with OPF video but changed out cat back exhaust in similar sound check environment, it's very different.

WITH OPF video.

VS WITHOUT OPF (delete pipes)

The trouble with a heck of lot of these non-OEM exhausts is that they are loud...but....they don't sound all that much like a Porsche F6. Eyes closed, it could be anything. In this instance, std exhaust sounds better.

That sounds good. I can't wait to hear a straight-piped version.

Agree with Chris; flat-6 sound signature should be maintained. Loud doesn't mean better. Before changing the exhaust, I would do the following, for the US-spec:

1. Make the valve flaps to open all the time. This brings back the sound with downshift blips.
2. Add GPF-Delete pipe, such as the one from JCR. Yes, we don't get GPF. But, the straight-through inert filters do impact the sound, negatively.

I suspect, 1 and 2 will keep the stock sound signature; but, amplified. And, much better!

And, I would rather want to hear sound clips from inside as the driver shifting through the gears near redline. That'll be true representation of real-world returns on mods.

That does sound amazing, glad to see the mods are really making a positive difference. Just frustrating we all have to "fix" it. It's hilarious to see how people just can't be pleased, before it's too quiet, and now, it doesn't sound like a "pure" flat 6. Ridiculous.
