Post Anyone with SFR 2.5" exhaust going to be at Hershey?

I ask mainly because I must hear it in person before I make a final purchase decision :-)

Hey! I was going to be in Hershey...but i have a wedding to attend. (not mine...) Actually, i might still try to come out there in the morning and leave in the afternoon...im still thinking that might be too much. What kind of sound are you after with the SFR. Basically, i love vintage italian, and a few modern italian cars, and they offer the perfect tone. The SFR added exactly what was missing- that raspy low end, and the beautiful high-end howl under acceleration. Click on my profile under S2 Roars for a recording of it. (better sounding with good headphones or monitors, it was recorded way above CD quality...so cheap speakers take away from it...) I dont tihnk you can go wrong with the SFR. It really just made the S2 sound like car should, for a car of its nature.

Yep, your car definitely sounds awesome. I too enjoy the Italian / tight-mechanical sound rather than a V8 burble.

But! I am an overly cautious consumer and want to hear the exhaust in person, in an ambient environ, before I make a final decision. Definitely let me know if you make it to Hershey or not, I want to hear that exhaust as well as check out that cool blue 91 S2

I'll be there too. I thought you were interested in the NA exhausts though. My turbo with a 3" exhaust probably sounds different from a NA with a 2.5". The SFR testpipe I have makes a huge difference too.

I'm not sure if I'm taking the 944 or the Jeep. I'll be looking for a drivers side fender for it up there. I'm thinking I may drive up there in it with all of my tools and take my fender off and look for a new one and put it on there. Then scrap the old fender. If I take the car and you want to find me, look for a Guards Red 944 NA with a white Fiberwerks front bumper.
